A MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) on Wood Anatomy starts on 22 January 2018 (in french with english subtitles).
The first goal of this MOOC is to link wood as tree tissue and wood as a material in human life. Anatomy is at the crossroads of these two worlds, i.e. the cell structure which gives an understanding of nearly all the properties of the wood.
Anatomy can also identify the various tree species and is the second MOOC goal: learning to recognise wood at two different scales - under the microscope and by eye.
Registration is open for a new session of the french MOOC "Anatomie du bois" (with english subtitles) :
