    This book provides an in-depth analysis of current development concerning ICTs with reference to vocational education and training. It presents the best and innovative ICT-based solutions implemented in education and explores controversial topics such as challenges and opportunities.  Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have dramatically changed the way we learn and work.

The potential and the impact of ICTs in vocational education and training have yet to be fully exploited, leading to an emerging direction of research.  This book helps readers to understand the idea of business education and education governance in a digital age.

To structure the fi eld, the book distinguishes between three approaches to defi ning competence, based on 1.functional behaviourism, 2. integrated occupationalism, and 3. situated professionalism.
