Abstract
<p>Although we have mostly returned to purely classroom-based teaching, many teaching methods and tools remain digitalized. This particularly applies to courses such as Business Informatics for Construction in which the author lectures. However, these digital tools have proven unsuitable for developing the necessary spatial imagination that students require in the construction industry. As a result, various methods were tested as part of practical university teaching. These were partly based on the methods used to train architects. Some proved to be successful, others less so. This best practice report is designed to provide suggestions and simplify teaching methodology for other lecturers in the overlapping fields of informatics and construction.</p>
