his year’s GfA spring convention will be held at the Magdeburg Fraunhofer Institute from February 28 through March 2, 2007 and will be devoted to the topic of “Developing Competence in Real and Virtual Work Systems”. Collectively, these technologies are gateways to considerably expanded perception, which can be used as the basis to develop competence on the basis of experience. Since virtual technologies have not been predominantly developed from the perspective of qualification and competence training, research in work and occupational science and didactic reflection are just as necessary as corresponding technological advances in virtual work systems. More and more, basic and advanced educational and training programs that integrate virtual work systems as an educational medium are attracting attention.
