Thank you for your support to the mini survey conducted in Issue 42 which received enthusiastic response. There were a total of 670 respondents and the top three favourite topics are News and Events, Programmes and Courses, and Alumni News. We will further enrich the content and provide you with the latest information on these areas.

The respondents also made a number of suggestions, including adding new topics on information about further studies and employment, alumni benefits, online videos of talks and seminars, and interviews of teachers, students and alumni, etc. We will take these on board. In this Issue, we have added a new topic 'OU People' in which a student's award-winning films are introduced.

Open Learning Highlight ─

 
  Lessons from Fukushima Nuclear Disaster: Two Years On  
   

The devastating 3.11 Japan earthquake had led to subsequent radiation leaks in Fukushima area that scared the rest of the world. Two years have passed, Fukushima survivors still live in the shadow of nuclear disaster. What lessons have we learnt from the Fukushima nuclear accident? Does the HKSAR government have any contingency measures to deal with similar types of crises occurring at the Daya Bay nuclear plant which is just a stone's-throw away from us?

The Open Learning Platform presents a video of the summit entitled 'Nuclear Power Panic? The Society's Response of the Disaster and Crisis' and a free course material on Geology and Geomorphology of Hong Kong to help you better understand the pros and cons of using nuclear energy in Hong Kong.
 

 
   

In this knowledge-based society, everyone has to add value to oneself so as not to get left behind. The OUHK will strive to deliver more free hands-on learning materials for everyone to learn and excel at anytime and anywhere by just one CLICK. Moreover, the University is currently building a new college which will offer full-time programmes for more young students to meet challenges ahead and build a better future.
