Students taking Online Journalism were set a challenge: experience life as a wheelchair-bound user of the University of Hong Kong campus.

They were divided into groups, issued with a wheelchair and given a route to negotiate.

As this selection of reports shows, the student reporters found the university’s facilities for wheelchair users fell far short of the ideal.
