A road is closed and the route must change. Learners interpret an operational message, estimate a new arrival time and inform passengers.
A warning appears on the dashboard. Learners interpret it, find the instruction and write a clear deviation report.
The driver receives conflicting information about a possible road closure. Learners assess sources, credibility and an AI-generated recommendation.
Learners read a fictional message about changed conditions on site, find the main point and practise explaining it and asking questions. The case trains comprehension and communication – not safety procedures.
A simple, fictional calculation where learners interpret measurements, calculate area and check the answer digitally. Illustrative mathematics only – no technical specifications for real work.
Learners separate observations from assumptions and write a short, clear description in a simulated digital form. The case does not require professional risk assessment.
Learners read a fictional message, write a short summary and practise an oral handover. Fictional information only – no clinical decisions.
Learners read a neutral, fictional overview of times and activities, compare details and separate facts from interpretations. No clinical thresholds or medical assessments.
A convincing social media post on a health topic comes from an unknown source. Learners assess the sender, the claims and AI-generated answers. The case is about information literacy, not medical advice.
Learners read a fictional notice about an updated document, find the version, date and changes and pass them on. The case trains reading and communication – not technical approval of designs.
Learners interpret fictional measurement data, calculate a percentage change and check the result. The figures are fictional learning data, not equipment specifications.
Learners compare a fictional source document with an AI-generated sample summary that contains a wrong value. Static material – no AI service is used.

Learners assess a fictional social media post with an undocumented claim about a food product (media literacy).
Learners find the time, place and task in a fictional work order and ask for clarification of what is missing.
Learners convert lengths to the same unit and add them up. A basic numeracy exercise – not a calculation for a real installation.

Learners read a fictional digital work order, find where and when the task is planned and write a message asking for clarification.
Learners read fictional monthly figures, calculate the change and discuss what the figures do not tell us. No technical causes or operational advice are given.

A customer shows a “payment confirmation” on a phone, while an SMS says the terminal must be updated via a link.
Reading helps learners understand and use workplace information. Start with texts they encounter at work.
Writing means communicating a clear message to the right reader. Use short, authentic workplace texts.

Oral communication involves listening, expressing ideas and cooperating in workplace situations.
Digital skills help learners use workplace systems safely and independently.
Learn to evaluate information, ask meaningful questions, consider different perspectives and make informed decisions at work and in everyday life.
