Abstract

This CAD course aims at lifting as many students as possible to a preferably high and well-defined
level of competence. At the same time, the teacher's workload should be kept within limits that allow
him or her to spend the major part of his or her capacity on supporting the individual student. In order
to reach this aim in spite of common unfavourable teaching conditions a complex pedagogical concept
of individual learning in large groups is developed.
Key elements of this concept are the following:

Keywords: Advanced instructions, blended learning, CAD education, didactic conception, individual learning, learning processes, soft skills.
