Small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering (SAXS and SANS) are versatile techniques for studying the structure of various materials and particles, enabling investigations of structures from a few to hundreds of nanometres. However, interpreting SAXS or SANS data can be challenging, hence the need for effective training. Here, we present the website SAStutorials.org, which offers tutorials on small-angle scattering (SAS) data analysis. The website serves as a learning platform that supports active learning both in the classroom and through self-study. The tutorials cover basic concepts, advanced modelling and theoretical aspects of SAS. Each tutorial follows a structure based on the principle of SOLO taxonomy, guiding learners from minimal or no knowledge in a given area to the ability to tackle real-world problems. SAStutorials.org has been developed as a community tool, providing tutorials that encompass a broad range of data analysis types, leveraging various programs and investigating different materials. Moreover, the website and all its data are open source, encouraging contributions from the community.
小角X射线和中子散射(SAXS和SANS)是研究各种材料和颗粒结构的通用技术,能够研究从几纳米到数百纳米的结构。然而,解释SAXS或SANS数据可能具有挑战性,因此需要进行有效的培训。在这里,我们展示了网站SAStutorials.org,它提供了关于小角散射(SAS)数据分析的教程。该网站作为一个学习平台,支持课堂上的主动学习和自学。这些教程涵盖了SAS的基本概念、高级建模和理论方面。每个教程都遵循基于SOLO分类法原则的结构,引导学习者从在给定领域的极少或没有知识,到能够解决实际问题的能力。SAStutorials.org已被开发为一种社区工具,提供涵盖广泛数据分析类型的教程,利用各种程序并研究不同的材料。此外,该网站及其所有数据都是开源的,鼓励社区做出贡献。
