Timeline

2018 – 2020

Overview

We will create a online course about the basics in wood science. The provided material will consist of reading material, short educational videos and interactive graphs. It is planned to design the concept in MyCourses but some of the material will also be published on public platforms, e.g. youtube. All the tasks within the course will be assed through MyCourses and the evaluation will be truly automatically.

The idea of the course is to adress students from different fields, with different backgrounds and goals. Therefor the course will consist of different topics and the students will be able to design their course content according to their needs.
