In German education, digitalization is evolving, and the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated this process due to closed schools and universities. While these external conditions were almost the same for all institutions, they have dealt with remote teaching in different ways and developed various new learning concepts. We conducted 27 interviews with headmasters, e-learning managers, and teachers from Germany to gain insights into varying attitudes towards learning management systems, as well as the motivations and concerns about future teaching with digital support. Using an inductive method, we identify different obstacles, including lack of digital competencies, necessity of technical equipment, concerns about replacing traditional lessons, but also enthusiasm for new opportunities. We argue that a meaningful use of learning management systems and learning analytics depends on an open and impartial debate on data protection and equal opportunities. Overall, this paper contributes to ...

For a successful implementation as well as sustainable use and maintenance of digital twins for production and logistics systems, it is necessary to identify relevant use cases and master the associated challenges. This paper analyzes scientific literature on common applications and challenges in the implementation of digital twins for the planning and operation of production and logistics systems. To confirm the practical relevance of the results, the results of an empirical survey have also been included. The findings are used to derive key focus areas for the successful implementation and long-term use of digital twins in production and logistics.
