“…Even if wireless network coverage is given, some schools cannot provide sufficient internet bandwidth, due to the general condition of the internet grid in Germany (Gürtzgen et al, 2018;Stockinger, 2019;forsa, 2020). Although efforts have been made recently to improve this situation, especially rural areas and schools within these areas have to be described as isolated and underdeveloped in regard to internet access.…”

Digital distance learning has become one of the main modes of education at vocational schools during the COVID-19 pandemic. A large-scale survey with almost 4,000 stakeholders from 15 vocational schools in Germany was conducted to analyze the current state of digital distance learning, with the goal to identify the challenges teachers, students, school leaders, parents, and training companies face when digital distance learning processes are implemented. A total of N = 1,493 qualitative statements have been analyzed as part of the survey. The results of the deductive structuring content analysis suggest the influence of digital distance learning on eight categories within school development, namely teaching, feedback, organization, collaboration, personal resources, technical infrastructure, perceived learner success, and professionalization. The identification of challenges within these categories can help school leaders at vocational schools and policy makers to transform the experiences during the ad hoc implementation of digital distance practices into sustainable school development processes. The research work also proposes a transformation of existing theoretical frameworks of school development in the light of digitalization.

“…This literature suggests that broadband adoption increases the employment of college-educated workers (Atasoy, 2013), improves the productivity of highly skilled workers performing non-routine tasks (Akerman et al, 2015), fosters economic growth through rm entry (Falck, 2017), and has a generally positive eect on rm size because it increases total revenues and the number of employees (DeStefano et al, 2018). As to possible heterogeneous eects across industries, Stockinger (2019) nds that broadband adoption in Germany leads to negative employment eects in manufacturing but to positive ones in the service industries.…”

This paper extends and renes the concept of ICT-driven skills-biased technological change by disentangling the eects of information technologies (IT) and communication technologies (CT). Guided by the theory that IT and CT dierently aect rms' production processes, we investigate the complementarities between these two distinct technologies and workers' levels of education in aecting rms' productivity. Exploiting within-rm variation between 2005-2017, we nd that the use of ITmeasured as use of business management toolsis particularly benecial for workers with a tertiary vocational education. In contrast, CTmeasured as workers' use of the intranetis especially complementary to workers with a tertiary academic education. While consistent with the ICT-driven skills-biased technological change hypothesis, our results oer evidence on the necessity for dierentiating between the eects of IT and CT on rm productivity when dierently educated workers use these technologies.
