Weiter so wie immer funktioniert nicht mehr!
Die Auswirkungen sind vielfältig und tiefgreifend. Gerade im Bildungsbereich stellt sich die Frage, wie geht man mit den neuen Tools um? Es gibt bereits Forderungen nach Verboten – aber ist das wirklich der richtige Weg? Gibt es Möglichkeiten die Technologie zu nutzen und mit menschlicher Intelligenz zu verbinden? Menschen, die KI verwenden müssen wissen, welches Problem gelöst werden soll und welche Schritt...2023-04-1244 min

Arbeit Bildung Zukunft#50 More than just a game (Teil 2) – „Ah, du bist Gamer/Streamer – hast du auch einen richtigen Beruf?“ (Teil 2)In weiten Teilen der Gesellschaft ist noch nicht angekommen, was hinter den Bereichen eSports, Gaming und Streaming steckt. Ich bin davon überzeugt, dass Personen, die einen Gaming-/Streaming-Background mitbringen, in der Zukunft insbesondere in Recruiting-Prozessen anders wahrgenommen werden. Warum ich das glaube, welche Fähigkeiten sich Gamer/Streamer selbst aneignen, wie sie aus ihrer Leidenschaft ein Produkt kreieren und vermarkten und wie spätere Arbeitgeber davon profitieren können, darüber haben wir gesprochen in Teil 2 des Podcast.

Arbeit Bildung Zukunft31 - Wie der digitale Wandel Lehre und Bildungslandschaft verändert?Oftmals wird die
Digitalisierung im Bildungsbereich mit dem Wechsel vom Hörsaal auf Zoom oder
Teams gleichgesetzt. Die Auswirkungen des digitalen Wandels auf den
Bildungsbereich sind jedoch weitreichender.
In der aktuellen Folge des
Podcast „Arbeit Bildung Zukunft“ habe ich mit Prof. Dr. Frédéric Thiesse,
Inhaber des Lehrstuhls für Wirtschaftsinformatik und Systementwicklung an der
Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg über dieses Thema diskutiert. Wir haben
die Auswirkungen des digitalen Wandels auf den Bildungsbereich aus
verschiedenen Betrachtungsebenen betrachtet:

Digitalisierung sehr heterogen. Zu dieser Erkenntnis kommt Prof. Dr. Axel
Winkelmann, Inhaber des Lehrstuhls für Betriebswirtschaftslehre und Wirtschaftsinformatik

HR von Persoblogger, Stefan Scheller. Gemeinsam mit Stefan haben ich mich u.a.
über folgende Themen ausgetauscht:
Warum beginnen weniger Jugendliche eine duale Ausbildung? Welche
Vorteile bietet eine duale Ausbildung? Warum die Berufsorientierung schon bei

muss?
Meine Hauptbotschaften:
▶️ Jugendliche sollten sich Gedanken
darüber machen, was sie gut kann und gerne machen. Aufbauend darauf sollte man
dann die weiteren Karriereschritte überlegen!

und akademischen Bildungssystems, ist ein Wechsel zwischen den Systemen fließend

Networks of satellites can provide communication everywhere. Small satellite will be appropriate in the context of telemedicine, Industry 4.0 or the monitoring of pollution. The technology is highly interesting for places that are not connected to classical communication connections...2018-04-1600 min
