About us

The Center for Active Learning (CAL) is a unit of the Department of Biology (D-BIOL) that promotes active learning and innovative teaching approaches in biology lectures at ETH.

We support lecturers in restructuring courses and implementing interactive teaching methods. To that end, we, a team of trained biologists, design and create teaching material, conduct analyses of learning processes, and provide support for the Moodle platform. To gain insight into our work check out some selected example courses.

The core CAL team is composed of Katja Köhler and Ulrich Genick, both lecturers at D-BIOL and Florin Gegenschatz. The team gets additional support from Melina Eisenring and several student teaching assistants. A group of selected professors and educational specialists from ETH serve as advisory board for CAL.

If you have any questions about CAL or our services, please don't hesitate to contact us!
