MGT 471a Human Resource Information Systems

Technology is rapidly tranforming the Human Resource fuction in organizations, and it should be no different with our HR classes. Organizations are very interested in determining how new technologies such as blogs, wikis, social networking, etc. can enhance communication, knowledge sharing, and ultimately profit. Therefore, they are experiementing and utilizing these technologies more and more. In this class, we will utililize one form, the Wiki.

This site is a Wiki and is hosted by Wikispaces. If you are not familiar with what a wiki is, you can find out more [|here]. The great thing for us is that wikis allow us to create a shared knowledge repository which is web accessible, can be shared and edited by peers, and we don't have to know how to program at all...YEA!!!

We will use this space to store key project information and weblinks, collectively create a set of class notes related to MGT 471, etc.

There will be separate pages for each topic and lecture. I will provide a basic outline and questions for each and I will assign teams to be responsible for the major updates to each area, although anyone can contribute to any section. Note that your contributions to this wiki will be graded both upon the quanity and quality (especially the quality) of your contributions to this WikiSpace.
