Assess the impact of the Jmol Space Group Symmetry Visualizer on teaching crystallography.
Developed the Jmol Space Group Symmetry Visualizer for online use.
Evaluated its effectiveness in a classroom setting.
Collected feedback from users on usability and educational value.
Participants reported increased understanding of symmetry concepts.
The visualizer allowed for easier manipulation and exploration of symmetry.
Feedback indicated overall positive reception among students.

Implication

Randomized trial demonstrates a new visualizer enhances crystallographic education, suggesting improved learning outcomes.

Abstract

Jmol Space Group Symmetry Visualizer [Johnston & Hanson (2026). Acta Cryst. C82, 258-266] represents a valuable contribution to crystallographic education and practice. Its significance lies in making symmetry visible, manipulable and shareable in a browser-based environment.
