我去年抱着「學習讓人充電」 的希冀，參加旁聽生計劃課程，既為汲取新知識，亦為再次享受校園的氛圍而欣喜。我作爲一個從事培訓及教育事務幾十年的人，很欣賞嶺南大學教師充份準備課堂和教材。心總是在想，能與年輕學生一同學習，了解他們的看法，那就更好了；能帶給他們更多學習上和概念上的碰撞和衝擊，那就更體現出「長幼共融」的課程目標。
課程結束後，一直很希望學校能延續下一個相關的課程，能讓我們這些旁聽生更與時並進，孜孜不倦地學習。
最後，我必須感謝嶺南大學為長者提供了這個學習的機會，更要感謝Prof. Ye在課程期間的專業講解。謹祝Prof. Ye身體健康！嶺南大學作育英才，創新永續！

嶺大長者學苑旁聽生課程多元化，令長者在退休後可以學習到不同類型的知識。在嶺大校園裡亦有公園，讓同學們在自然環境中作文化交流。旁聽生可以進入嶺大圖書館，內裡有閱讀區方便長者們閱覽圖書。學苑也不時舉辦免費講座。旁聽生課程不單提供長者退休後的學習機會，更對社會有莫大貢獻，例如：長者們可持續學習，減少跟社會脫節的機會；另外能夠結交新朋友、減慢腦部退化和減輕政府在醫療和安老機構的負擔等等。

我抱着學習新知識，感受嶺大校園學術氛圍和有機會與年青人溝通的心態來参加旁聽生課程。課堂内容非常有趣，讓我擴闊目光認識新事物；課後也有機會到校園圖書館。嶺大校園清幽寧靜，實為學習寶地。另外，必須讚賞長者學苑安排周詳，溝通清晰，員工非常友善，衷心感謝!

我很高興有機會修讀"Blue Planet"這個課程。課程內容豐富，課題艱深但有趣味，引發學生追尋及深入探索。對於我這長者而言，能得到一點關於浩瀚宇宙的演化和各星系的知識，已滿足了我的期望。課程讓我們認識到許多影響地球和人類未來的議題，喚醒我們要關注和保護地球。
Dr. Geng是個地質學家，對課程內容知識廣博。她很有教學熱誠，準備課堂非常充足，講解細心。她對學生要求頗高，學生要就戶外考察和博物館參觀撰寫報告，又要學生自選課題作演講，嶺大的學生們都十分努力和認真地完成課程的各項活動。
我非常喜歡和享受這課程，獲益良多。感謝嶺大長者學院和Dr. Geng。

本人就讀Blue Planet 課程，學習到很多關於科學的知識，也增加了對地球的認識，課程內容都很有趣，令我獲益良多。本人已經退休，在空餘時間能夠多些學習知識，實在對身心有益。
The NT West Elder Academies Cluster was established in 2011 to co-ordinate the operation and curriculum development of the elder academy in the western New Territories. It was encouraging that the number of elders joining the network has increased from 10 elder schools to 105. In order to enable the elderly to exert their role of "active ageing", the NT West Elder Academies Cluster provides diversified learning activities such as visits, seminars, camps to the Elderly, in which the Elderly can enjoy and enrich their learning experience and personal sociality.
