Wood technology is an on-line short course for timber industry personnel who want to improve their background knowledge in wood properties, differences between softwoods and hardwoods, timber growth characteristics and defects, seasoning, destroyers of timber (fungi, termites and borers), structural grades and Australian Standards.
The assessment activity for this course is an on-line multiple choice test comprising 80 questions. The questions are drawn from the learning materials in the following sections of Building Learning website:
Section 1: Wood in a living tree
