The Institute for Technology and Work (ITA), in cooperation with the Department of Pedagogy at the Faculty of Social Sciences at the Technical University of Kaiserslautern, prepared a report describing an overall picture of inclusive digital education and the challenges still to be solved in this context. It outlines the political context for inclusive digital education and also addresses issues of vulnerability and inclusion, provides an overview of the relevant research literature and examines thematic trends in European implementation projects and international conferences.
In January, the project in.arbeit - digital was launched, which aims to improve the vocational participation opportunities of people with disabilities through digitally supported decentralisation in sheltered employment.
The current issue of WISO direkt addresses the specifics of the social economy compared to other economic sectors, which accordingly require a different form of digital transformation, and highlights opportunities as well as risks of digitalisation. In addition to the necessary investments in the technical infrastructure, a digital transformation also requires suitable innovation structures and cultures.
Successful completion of the EICON project, in which ITA together with European partners developed approaches to improve the inclusion capacity of vocational education and training (VET) institutions using information and communication technologies (ICT). The results are now available for free use in vocational education and training institutions.
The experiences of the "PFL-EX" project, which will end in November 2020, were summarised in a 40-minute film. The film gives a voice to nurses and the management of the pilot facilities and presents some of the technologies that have been tested.
A successful implementation of digitisation projects requires a rethinking especially in interdepartmental business processes, as digitisation affects all departments in a company and leads to manifold interactions between methods, tools and processes. In the research project InAsPro a modular transformation concept was developed, which supports the demand-oriented implementation of digitization technologies in manufacturing companies with the help of a participative approach. The project results have now been published in an edited volume with the title "Demand-oriented digitization of manufacturing companies - A modular transformation concept as a practice-oriented approach".
Dr. Regina Osranek and Dr. Tino Baudach from the Institute for Technology and Work (ITA) have received the Best Poster Award of the 66th Spring Congress of the German Human Factors and Ergonomics Association.
