The Wood Education Institute is developing a series of rich-media based learning modules to provide tools for teaching wood design. The modules that have been completed are intended for undergraduate programs. The modules currently under development target graduate level and continuing education study in wood design and focus particularly on the Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) related wood research efforts as part of a collaborative effort in engineering education. This paper describes the intent of these materials, pedagogical approaches for integrating them into university level courses, and results of a benchmark study of the material's use in a blended learning experience for undergraduate students at Cal Poly Pomona and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo universities. A survey instrument was used to capture students' perceptions of the learning modules from several dimensions including: relevance of content to career interests, relevance to course content, pedagogical approach, and usability. The survey results suggest that overall students had a positive experience with the learning modules. They appreciated the functionality that allowed them to control the pace of the content delivery and felt the materials were a strong contributor to their ability to use the knowledge as part of their class activities. While the majority of the comments were positive, there was data to suggest that the module content was too voluminous for the length (and pace) of the course and a shorter module length was preferred.
