Fundamentals of Timber Engineering. Module 1.2.1 Understanding Timber: Growth of Wood

The Fundamentals of Timber Engineering educational learning resource package has been developed to help deliver timber engineering topics in institutes that do not currently teach timber through ‘stand-alonestudent-directed learning’, or in institutes where timber engineering is already included, to ‘assist lecturers in their face-to-face delivery’.

The educational learning resource package contains three elements:
1) stand-alone presentation videos and supplementary video clips
2) PowerPoint files
3) assessment questions

Student Directed Learning
For stand-alone ‘student-directed learning’ students can learn at their own pace using the presentation sequence suggested below; they would be provided with access to all topic presentation videos and video clips.

The modules online at https://www.woodsolutions.com.au/educ... contain comprehensive materials, including PowerPoint files and videos.

Face-to-Face Delivery by Lecturers
For face to face use, lecturers can use the PowerPoint files to deliver the lecture themselves. Lecturers can also use some of the videos as an audio-visual commentary to the PowerPoint presentations.
