Using the LUCA Office Simulation to consider digital examinations in a process-related and stakeholder-oriented manner

Innovations in VET which take place within the framework of digitalisation at schools and companies are ultimately threatened with failure if they are not also mapped in the examination system. With this in mind, the present article looks at the design concept behind a process-related and stakeholder-oriented VET examination model for the organisation and implementation of intermediate and final examinations (examinations at central level) and for the monitoring of learning outcomes at companies and schools (decentral level). The areas of potential offered by commercial intermediate and final examinations which use the LUCA Office Simulation are outlined on the basis of an example of implementation. The article concludes by reflecting upon which aspects are currently restricting the potential of digital examinations in vocational education and training.
