Vocational Education and Training in the Age of Digitization Challenges and Opportunities
portunities of digitization for work and workplace learning as well as for vo-
cational education and (further) training. Theoretical approaches, empirical
findings and research-based best practice examples of digitization in work-
place-related learning are discussed here. When we planned this book, digiti-
zation had already been an issue in science and practice for many years (see
the introduction by Helmut M. Niegemann in this volume). Both had been dis-
cussed for quite a while and in an increasingly intensive manner in the contexts
of learning, education, and working. What we couldn’t know at the time was
how relevant this topic would become in a short while. Now that we are writing
this preface, we have been in the pandemic for several months, schools and
universities are largely doing without classroom teaching, and in-house train-
ings in companies are suspended or changed to virtual trainings. Teachers, stu-
dents, trainers and learners had to adapt quickly. In the last months, we have
often heard that the educational landscape will be different in the future. In this
context, reference is made to the increasing use and the many advantages of
technology-based learning and working. Of course we do not know how much
the education and training landscape will change and to what extent technol-
ogy-based learning and working will increase. The fact is that education and
training was already quite digitalised before the pandemic and this will most
certainly increase further.
