Pomology/Teaching tools

The Pomology Teaching Tools is a non-research project based on practical support to the Department of Pomology. It may also help to the other departments of horticulture. Its attempt is to create study tools for studying pomology, such as pictures, schematic drawings, videos and textbooks. This project should coordinate work on this area and may collaborate with the School of Education.

Pictures

The Department of Pomology needs specific pictures for its teaching operations. The picture is understood here as a photograph. By uploading pictures you can help other people to make schematic pictures from them.

Examples

Malus domestica
Pineapple plantation in Ghana
Orange (Citrus sinensis) cross section
Sorting bananas

Demand for Pictures

List here pictures, which are wanted. Then specify what they should include.

Schematic Pictures

When we want to help you to understand a specific problem or thing we can use schematic pictures. They are understood here as photographs with schemes within them. See an example:

Examples

Available sources

If you are storing here a file, where language could be changed when make a Schematic Picture list it here with contact info or websites. It can be used for spending time, which people from other wikiversity mutations don’t need to spend too much time on creating up new schematic pictures.

Drawings

Drawings or paintings are tools which where developed especially to teach something the observer. They are usually black and white, but might be also colored. Drawings should be easy to understand. They might be developed by drawing and/or painting. Advance users can make them from pictures (=photographs).

Video/Animations

Videos and animations are other tools which can help the student to understand the problem. Pomology teaches the student how two maintain fruit crops, harvest them and about post-harvest processes.

Sounds

It is not expected that Department of Pomology will need some sound for its purposes. This paragraph is here for possible needs in the future. Some participants may feel useful to hear expressions or articles via audio. For this needs go to the next paragraph.

Pronunciation/grabbed text

We don’t expect at this time, that there will be a demand for lessons/projects/subjects to have them in audio. We think that there will be a demand for pronunciations of specific words and/or audio text books.

Examples

Demand for audio pronunciation

List here words or expressions which you need to hear:

Demand for audio text books

List here official names of text books under Department of Pomology that you want to hear. IMPORTANT: only finished text books can be grabbed!*

Text Books

Text Books are wikiversity full text materials, which are used for studying. It is very difficult to write a good book in a real life. The wikiversity community might help to get easier to obtain free study text books. They should be developed/written by teachers/instructors, but also other people can help. If you would like to help and you are not skilled follow the instruction line for each textbook in the main page discussion. Wikiversity textbooks can be developed by transporting texts from Wikibooks, but also other sources are needed due to the official policy of WikiMedia Foundation.

Textbooks under development

Pomology - undergraduate/graduate textbook which is being prepared on Wikibooks.
Tropical and Subtropical Pomology - this full text textbook will cover all fruit production of tropics and subtropics. It will be designed on the Graduate level, that Undergraduate and Graduate students may use it. Also the post-graduate students might study from that. It will also give a general information to the students of Citriculture and Banana Production, such as Viticulture on the Department of Viticulture and Enology.
