Abstract

ICTs are redefining almost everything of human activities, including life, work, and even relationships. In modern education, they are main driving forces to the transformation and expansion of education in terms of methodology and content. Vocational education, as an important style of education, particularly relies on ICTs due to its specialties in the large number of candidate students, importance of experiences in practice, and requirement-oriented training. New ICTs are leading to innovations of vocational education from various aspects, which breeds high-quality online education service which is cost-effective and thus affordable and available to more learners. In this study, we take higher vocational education in China as an example to study the effect of new ICTs on the education. By conducting a comprehensive case study on a Chinese vocational institute, we reveal from service science perspective some fundamental findings that we believe are instructional and helpful to guide ICT-driven innovations in vocational education.
