Instructional Support Services
Forestry Media Center (FMC) - unique facility located within the College of Forestry. This is an instructional technology center devoted to help educators solve instructional problems in forestry through the application of innovative communication media. After more than thirty years of producing educational materials, we have developed hundreds of slide-tapes, films, videotapes, and other learning resources on a wide variety of forestry topics. These learning resources are mostly authored by faculty from OSU, or research staff from the U.S.D.A. Forest Services, in cooperation with education and communication specialists from the FMC. They are aimed at a wide spectrum of forestry audiences: forest researchers, managers, engineers, non-industrial woodland owners, forestry students, and many others.
