Using ICTs and blended learning in transforming technical and vocational education and training

Integrating AI and Sustainability in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET)

As industries worldwide adopt advanced technologies and sustainable practices, the role of technical and vocational education and training (TVET) is evolving to meet these new demands. TVET institutions must now integrate artificial intelligence (AI) and sustainability into their programs to produce a workforce equipped with future-ready skills. By incorporating AI tools and sustainable practices into TVET curricula, educators can provide learners with the competencies to thrive in green technologies, smart manufacturing, renewable energy, and other emerging fields. This integration empowers individuals with new skills and contributes to a more sustainable, resilient global economy. Further exploration may bridge the gap between technological advancement and environmental responsibility. Integrating AI and Sustainability in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) provides a comprehensive guide on how TVET can successfully incorporate technological elements, addressing the frameworks, strategies, best practices, and challenges associated with this transformation. It supports educators in navigating the complexities of integrating AI and sustainability into vocational training. This book covers topics such as cybersecurity, data science, and supply chains, and is a useful resource for business owners, engineers, educators, academicians, researchers, and data scientists.

Business Innovation with New ICT in the Asia-Pacific: Case Studies

This book clarifies the direction of business innovation using new ICT such as the Internet of things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), smartphones, and cloud computing through a series of case studies on successful trials and advanced businesses in the Asia-Pacific where many industry sectors have been growing successfully in the 21st century. ICT has been playing an important role in value creation for customers and in profit generation for providers, contributing to various service innovation and business innovation. Now, digitalization using IoT and AI provides solutions to address various issues in the human society, which is transforming services and businesses in the 21st century. “What is the direction of the business innovation using new ICT?” is a highly concerned question for business researchers and practitioners. Aiming to answer the question, this book conducts a number of cases studies in the Asia-Pacific region, including the Mainland China, Taiwan, Japan, Malaysia, Vietnam, as well as Australia. Among the studies, there are 4 cases from ICT providers, 4 cases from traditional and services, and 6 cases from new ICT applications and businesses. Each case analyzes social needs and human desires, new value created, roles of new technologies, processes and difficulties in developing new businesses, the relationship among customers, providers, and stakeholders, value chain co-creation and optimization, factors of success, and business models. Finally, the direction of business innovation with new ICT in the Asia-Pacific is suggested by summarizing the findings from the case studies through the lens of the theoretical analysis in service science.
