Lesson Plan

• Describe how IT and AI transform core HRM functions.
• Explain the benefits and risks of implementing HR technologies.
• Analyse data‑driven HR decisions using predictive analytics.
• Evaluate the strategic implications of IT/AI for HR as a business partner.

• Projector and laptop
• Slide deck on HR tech
• Printed handout with case studies
• Access to a short HRIS/AI demo video
• Worksheet for group analysis
• Whiteboard and markers

Begin with a quick poll: “Which HR task would you automate first and why?” Connect this to students’ prior knowledge of traditional HR processes. Explain that by the end of the lesson they will be able to identify key IT/AI tools, weigh their advantages and challenges, and articulate how these technologies reposition HR as a strategic partner.

1. Do‑now (5’) – Quiz on traditional HR activities vs. digital alternatives.
2. Mini‑lecture (10’) – Overview of HRIS, ATS, AI analytics, chatbots, performance platforms, and adaptive LMS.
3. Case‑study analysis (15’) – Small groups examine a handout, list benefits and risks, and present findings.
4. Interactive demo (10’) – Play a short video showing an HRIS dashboard and AI‑driven talent analytics.
5. Whole‑class discussion (10’) – Link the technology insights to strategic HR roles and business outcomes.
6. Exit ticket (5’) – Students write one concrete way AI could change HR in their future workplace.

Summarise how IT and AI shift HR from transactional to strategic, highlighting key benefits and risks discussed. Collect exit tickets to gauge understanding and assign homework: research a real‑world company using AI in HR and prepare a brief summary of its impact.
