This course critically assesses the issue of workplace learning. It provides a forum for discussing the context within which human resource development (HRD) takes place, the linkage of HRD and business strategy, how HRD adds value, the changing role of the HRD practitioner, approaches to identifying and meeting learning and development needs and new developments and trends in meeting HRD needs. Topics covered will include: strategic `business-led' human resource development, HRD roles and relationships, learning and transfer of learning, the concept of blended learning (training, e-learning, development processes), career management, workplace learning in an international context, assessing workplace learning strategies.The module provides for the blending of the theory and practice of HRD with the workplace experiences of the participants and to this end participants will be expected to contribute critical reflection on their workplace experiences.
