🌍 Ever thought about doing real archaeology outside the classroom?
Kristy, a BA Humanities and Digital Technologies student from HKU, recently returned from an amazing two-week field trip in Armenia with the #ARTH2110 course — and it was epic. 🏺💥
From digging trenches in the sunshine, finding ancient pottery and obsidian, to chilling with her host family and exploring Armenian culture — it wasn’t just about archaeology, but a completely different way of living. 🏞️✨
She documented the whole journey, and it’s full of early mornings, hands-on discoveries, and some seriously wholesome village vibes. If you’re into the past, culture, or just want a cool summer experience — this is it. HKU students can start signing up for ARTH2110 summer 2026 this week! Read Kristy's full story and maybe you’ll be packing your bags next summer. 😉

When we talk about a VLE upgrade, it’s easy to get lost in the detail: integrations, training, timelines, testing, etc.

But from the student’s perspective, the questions they ask are much simpler.

That’s why a VLE upgrade has to be built around the students need. It’s not just a technical exercise. It’s a chance to make the student experience simpler, more consistent, and more inclusive.

After weeks of struggling with my previous institution, I finally made the difficult decision to withdraw. Despite submitting all documentation for disability adjustments early and following up multiple times, there were constant delays. Two weeks just to acknowledge a form (which included full reports and suggested supports) is far too long. These cases often simply need a conversation to confirm adjustments, not endless reviews.

There were also serious communication gaps: classes scheduled on public holidays with no clear guidance, lecturers not turning up, no way to reach them directly via email, and Canvas messages going unanswered. Even when I physically went to campus, staff tried to help but could not get through to anyone with authority to act. It was disheartening, especially because the course content was excellent. However, I’m thankful that I’ve now enrolled elsewhere and begin my studies on June 23. I’m already receiving much better support and feel hopeful moving forward.

Field trips for students are more than just a break from routine—they're immersive educational tours that bring lessons to life. Whether visiting historical sites, science centers, or ecological parks, these experiences enhance classroom learning, build curiosity, and foster real-world understanding.

Amazing students here, talking about their experiences, hopes, and fears of being students during and after the pandemic.
TL/DR: it’s not about the pandemic, it’s about institutions thinking, in a joined up and cohesive way, for the whole student journey, academic AND pastoral experiences, all the time!!
Thanks to @DonnaLanclos for bringing this to our attention, from those most affected. #ALTC23 #StudentExperience @A_L_T

Back to it! Things I'm particularly looking forward to working with this term:

- assessment design and workflow (as ever)
- student experience of module review and feedback processes
- technology for and within the Humanities
- the value of Faculty-level research for change processes

My MA module this year is on Leadership and Change, so, should complement nicely.
