Introduction

When we talk about digitization, we focus on a current topic which is subject to a broad discussion. In its origins, the German interpretation of digitalization rather reflects what is being discussed as digitization in the English language, because with digitization we often refer to a transformation of analog information, data and values ​​into a digital form or a digital format. From time to time we also take the administration, processing and storing of such digital formats into consideration and discuss the necessary IT systems or the necessary technical equipment in schools or vocational contexts. But that is not everything today. Digitization has many other connotations and effects, as it leads to process-related changes, which today are often thematized under the heading of Industry 4.0. Here, VET is not only about the need for technical reporting, but more important and, in the long term, more important for opportunities and challenges in the media, didactics and education fields.
