This document contains four papers from a symposium on university instruction in human resource development (HRD). "Comparison of Student Reactions in Traditional and Videoconferencing Courses in Training and Development " (Julie A. Furst-Bowe) finds few differences in student attitudes about the two types of courses. "The Development of Common Core Learning Outcomes for HRD Professionals which Have Currency across National Boundaries: A European Case Study" (John S. Walton) describes a 3-year study that examined syllabi from HRD training programs at European universities and developed a set of learning outcomes reflecting the range of HRD practices in which professionals operating in a European context should be able to demonstrate competence. A study of evaluation research on graduate-level classes in HRD at Northern Illinois University is reported in "The Video-Teleconference Distance Education Human Resource Development Graduate Classroom: Quantitative Evaluation Research Directed toward Effective Practice" (John A. Niemi, Kevin Owens, Barbara J. Ehrhard). "Relationships among Training, Performance, and Personal Characteristics of Graduates of Three Dietetic Training Programs" (Sally Erickson-Weerts) discusses a study that measured the characteristics of the academic and supervised practice performance and self-efficacy perception of a random sample of entry-level dieticians who graduated from three dietetic training programs.
