Teaching with Technology: How to Expand Scope and Value of Course "Conversations"

Teaching with Technology

This workshop will explore and demonstrate how technology can be employed in our courses to increase the scope and value of our conversations and the perceptions, emotions, attitudes, decisions, and behaviors resulting from them. From varied and focused experiences, we will engage participants with our development, employment, and sharing of technology resources that bring conversations to our classrooms and courses. In an integrated demonstration and discussion session, we continue exploring, within this conversation theme: (1) why to use technology, (2) what technology to use, (3) how to acquire technology, and (4) when to use technology. The organizers will share insights on innovative best practices, assignments, and classroom experiences that create and propel learning conversations.

Innovations and Fundamentals in HR Teaching

Teaching HR

Today's students put extraordinary demands on HR instructors. On one hand, students are often quick to dismiss our courses as "soft," "elementary" or "common sense"-so there is a pressing need for relevance and richness. On the other hand, modern technology and short attention spans often create an aversion to the conceptual grounding and evidence-based education necessary to build true understanding and applicable skills. In this session, award-winning professors (including the 2013 and 2014 HR Division Innovative Teaching Award winners) will discuss and illustrate how they design and deliver their courses in contemporary learning contexts. The presenters will focus largely on specific examples and then offer an opportunity for participants to share some of their own best practices as well. The goal is for participants to leave with some practical teaching takeaways that can be adapted to different HR courses, instructor styles and student pro­files.

Innovative Projects in EBMgt

Practitioners, consultants and educators from around the world will report on over a dozen innovative projects introducing the skills and practices of Evidence-based Management into business, government and higher education. This workshop combines panels, poster sessions, and interactive breakout discussions to engage participants who want to learn and share ideas and experiences in promoting EBMgt in practice, consulting, and teaching. Participants will learn the ins and outs of how consultants are helping managers use scientific evidence to answer practice questions. Innovative uses of evidence in case competitions and executive doctoral programs will stimulate discussion regarding creative applications of EBMgt in management education.
