Rolf Arnold, PhD, obtained his doctorate at the University of Heidelberg, Germany, in 1983 and his postdoctoral qualification at the Distance Univerity of Hagen, Germany, in 1987. Since 1990, he has been Professor of Pedagogy (Vocational and Adult Education) at Technische Universität Kaiserslautern, Germany. He is also Scientific Director of the Distance and Independent Studies Centre (DISC), Kaiserslautern, Germany, and speaker of the Virtual Campus Rhineland-Palatinate (VCRP).

Many European and non-European countries, such as Germany, are racing into a momentous educational catastrophe almost unchecked: a competence catastrophe. Instead of nurturing learner competencies, such as creativity and self-directed learning, some educational organizations continue to favor traditional forms of learning, even in the face of digitization, employing what the author refers to as mediation logic that has no backing from modern research evidence in neuroscience and learning research. If the competence catastrophe can be stopped at all, then a courageous train of thought, such as that of Rolf Arnold presented in this book, requires implementation in pedagogical practice!
