Innovations in Teaching in Human Resources and Industrial Relations

This special issue features four scholarly papers from the Innovative Teaching in Human Resources and Industrial Relations (HR/IR) Conference, hosted by Utah State University in Park City, Utah in April 2005. At the fourth edition of this conference we saw papers on a range of teaching topics related to HR/IR. Conference sessions included discussions of appropriate content for HR/IR programs of study, the routes to enhancing the classroom experience for diverse types of learners, the leveraging of technology including video and multimedia, ways to address the challenge of teaching large classes, and examples of experiential or applied exercises and simulations
