Virtual Neutrons for Teaching

An action research project, where we developed and followed a freely accessible e-learning portal for neutron scattering. It was aimed at students who wanted to learn about the theories, techniques and instruments used at large-scale neutron scattering facilities. The portal uses different interaction elements such as a wiki-structured textbook, online interactive lectures and lessons, and online Monte Carlo simulations of experiments.

Project period: 2012-2016
