What is a moderation case?

A moderation case is also commonly referred to as a presentation case or workshop case. It is a case that may be equipped with materials such as markers, cards or adhesive products. For example, a moderation case may contain moderation cards or communication cards as well as practical items such as masking tape, pin cushions or glue sticks. In combination with flipcharts, these materials can be used to visualise content, support group communication or present feedback and opinions. A moderation case can be used in numerous different presentation and facilitation situations. Due to its variable configuration, it is available in different sizes. Moderation cases are commonly used by trainers, teachers, lecturers and coaches, for example to support learning activities in small or large groups or to keep materials readily available during presentations. The contents can vary depending on the model and the moderation accessories included.

When is a moderation case used?

There are many situations in which a moderation or presentation case can be used. For trainers, coaches or teachers, a moderation case can be a useful tool in a variety of situations. Depending on the configuration, the case contains different materials for presentations or learning sessions. Moderation cards and communication cards may be included, as well as pin cushions, masking tape, glue sticks or markers. Moderation cases are suitable for numerous different applications. Different designs and accessory combinations allow various user groups to select a model that suits their requirements. For example, marking dots for flipcharts may also be included to help highlight content during a presentation. If you are unsure whether purchasing a case is worthwhile, you may, depending on availability, choose to rent one first and test whether working with a presentation case suits your requirements.

Why use a moderation case?

There are various reasons for using a moderation case. Some possible advantages are summarised below.

• As a trainer, coach or teacher, you can provide many of the working materials required for the planned session directly.
• A well-equipped moderation case can help reduce delays caused by missing working materials.
• A moderation case can make preparation and organisation easier by keeping many documents and working materials together and readily available.
• For regular use, purchasing your own moderation case may be economically interesting compared with repeated rental. Whether this is worthwhile depends, among other things, on the purchase price, rental costs and frequency of use.

What does a moderation case contain?

The contents of a moderation case vary depending on the model and manufacturer. Many equipped moderation cases contain typical materials such as:

• Moderation cards in different colours and sizes
• Communication cards
• Round-head pins
• Flipchart markers with chisel or round tips
• Marking dots

There are also a number of other items that may be suitable for inclusion in a moderation case, for example:

• Pointer
• Scissors
• Pin cushion
• Whiteboard pens
• Markers
• Cards in shapes such as circles, clouds or rectangles
• Moderation clouds
• Marking dots
• Laser pointer
• Calculator
• Ballpoint pens
• Glue sticks
• Adhesive tape
• Tape dispenser
• Clear tape
• Adhesive dots
• Masking tape

The possible contents can be configured in different ways depending on the case model and intended use. Which items are useful depends largely on the type of application the case is intended to support. If a pointer is required, a suitably equipped case can be selected. For flipchart presentations, for example, there are cases with a larger selection of markers. Workshops may require different materials from training sessions or lectures. The contents can therefore be configured to cover typical moderation and presentation situations. If certain presentation tools are not available at the venue, an appropriately equipped moderation case may provide alternative materials depending on its contents. Suitable adhesive or marking dots can, for example, be used to attach documents to appropriate surfaces. Alternatively, you can purchase an empty moderation case and assemble the contents yourself. This can be useful if pre-configured cases do not match your requirements. In this case, you can select the materials relevant to your intended use. Prices may vary depending on the configuration. This allows you to keep the items required for your usual applications together and readily available. Many moderation cases are also lockable. A lockable case can make access to the contents more difficult and may be useful, for example, when transporting higher-value working materials.

What size should a moderation case be?

Compact and lightweight cases are available and can be easy to transport. They are often made from plastic. Alternatively, moderation cases made from aluminium are available. Depending on their construction, aluminium cases can offer greater dimensional stability and resistance than certain plastic models. Depending on their size and equipment, they may be suitable for transport to events. Aluminium is, however, often heavier than plastic. If weight is an important factor, this should be taken into account when choosing a model. Whether you prefer a small, lightweight case or a larger and more extensively equipped version, different models are available for different moderation and presentation tasks. Various options are available in terms of size and equipment. The required storage space, and therefore the appropriate case size, depends on the amount and dimensions of the equipment you want to carry.

Moderation case with carrying handle or trolley with extendable handle?

Whether a case or trolley is more suitable depends on your intended use. While a traditional moderation case is designed to be carried, models with wheels and an extendable handle are also available. These cases often also feature a carrying handle and can be pulled when required. This can be useful if you travel frequently and need to transport the moderation case over longer distances. A case with a shoulder strap is another option. Such a model can be carried over the shoulder.

What does a moderation case look like?

Moderation cases are available in materials including aluminium and plastic. Depending on the manufacturer and model, they differ in terms of material, size and design. Many models have a relatively understated appearance and can therefore be suitable for different professional and private settings. Coloured versions are also available, for example in red, green or blue.
