Technologies in education and training: findings from the field

Due to shorter innovation cycles, increasing competitive pressure and the need for more flexibility in an uncertain business environment, we need more efficiency and effectiveness in education and training. Computers provide an added degree of freedom that can be used both within and external to traditional classroom environments, and that can be coupled with new as well as "tried and true" structures and techniques. This paper presents first results of a survey of Austrian and German enterprises and universities as part of an extended research program.
