Digital tools are transforming vocational education, but innovation should always serve pedagogy, not the other way around.
Learning Management Systems, authoring tools, gamified platforms, and collaborative boards offer powerful possibilities. However, their effectiveness depends on alignment with learning objectives and learner needs.
Before selecting a tool, educators should consider:
-
What is the intended learning outcome?
-
What type of interaction is required?
-
What is the digital literacy level of learners?
-
Is the tool accessible and mobile-friendly?
In dual VET environments, flexibility is crucial. Learners often combine training with employment, making mobile access and short modules essential.
Technology enhances learning when it simplifies access, increases engagement, and supports personalised pathways.
Innovation is not about complexity, it is about impact.
