Abstract

A series of Internet-distributed audio/visual recordings for learning crystallographic analysis of powder diffraction data is discussed. These recordings provide a compact mechanism for distributing educational information. Such presentations provide hands-on discussion beyond what is usually presented in instructional texts. In some cases similar material can be presented with HTML text, but recordings can be created with significantly less effort and are superior for software demonstration.
