By supplying various combinations of advanced instructions and different forms of exercises individual learning processes within the impartation of basic knowledge can be activated and supported at best. The fundamentals of our class "Introduction to spatial-geometric cognition using CAD" are constructional inputs, which systematically induce the objectives amended by background knowledge of adequate depth. Instructions are supplied either online as videos and images from the lecture notes or during an in-class lecture. For the adaption to the computer different steps of exercises were developed according to the level of proficiency. These are to be solved by learning groups of four participants supporting one another. (Contains 18 figures.)
