Promoting participative teaching by using the Catchbox

1 September 2024, by DL-Büro GW

Would you like to make your courses more participative and active? The lecture-free period offers the ideal opportunity to expand and optimize your teaching methods. An excellent way to activate your students in the future and encourage discussion is to use a catchbox. This innovative microphone solution, which can be borrowed from our office, allows you to safely throw the microphone around the room and thus involve the participants in the discussions in a playful way. The Catchbox is characterized by its soft padding and low weight, which makes it safe and easy to handle.

To simplify the use of the Catchbox as much as possible, we have prepared a detailed video tutorial for you. You can easily borrow the Catchbox from the Hardwareportal of the Universität Hamburg. There you will also find further information on integrating technology into your lectures. Click here to go directly to the Hardwareportal.

Feel free to contact us at any time if you have further questions or need technical instruction.
