Teaching resources and patterns of association on the Net

Article Abstract:

The Internet offers interesting possibilities for teaching labor relations and there are a number of Internet discussion lists related to this topic. Contrary to expectation, electronic mail enhances student interaction with the instructor and economizes on record keeping. Students tend to stay in touch with the instructor via e-mail long after the course is over. Students learn to find, transfer and draw conclusions from Internet material and this stimulates their minds in a way that memorization and regurgitation of traditional material does not. A list of relevant URLs is given.

A survey of curricula of IR/HR master's programs: common features, new directions

Article Abstract:

There were in 1996 39 master's programs in industrial relations or human resources, a significant growth since the area was surveyed in 1988. This number masks, however, the elimination of some programs. Curricula are continuing to shift their emphasis to human resources from industrial relations. This orientation means the programs are more relevant for students than they used to be. The number and variety of programs means that students have more choice than they used to. The new courses reflect the changing environment.
