Learning goes further when everything travels together.
FieldScholar brings program information, field learning, communication, and safety into one mobile-first experience for students and faculty on experiential and international programs.
FieldScholar does not replace those tools. It gives students one place to live the program.
02 / IN ACTION
See FieldScholar in action
One program. One mobile experience.
The information and tools students actually need while they are abroad — shown here from the current FieldScholar pilot.
A · Start the day
Start the day knowing what matters.
Today’s schedule, meeting points, activities, resources and updates stay together in one place.
Program Schedule in the current pilot.
B · Housing
Housing details when students actually need them.
Address, access information, contacts and practical notes stay with the student instead of disappearing into old emails or PDFs.
My Stay — host family and housing.
C · Learn in the field
Capture the experience while it is happening.
Students can document observations, reflection and place-based learning while the field is still part of the learning process.
Trips — start an observation from the excursion itself.
D · Stay connected
The right information, in context.
Faculty can surface program information and updates without turning FieldScholar into another general-purpose chat platform. Call and WhatsApp reach the program’s faculty contact; course tools such as Slack and Canvas remain linked, not rebuilt.
Home — faculty contact, today’s program, and quick actions.
E · Safety
Safety without surveillance.
Help stays reachable. Continuous location tracking does not. I’m Safe: one tap begins a prefilled safety message to the program’s primary faculty contact.
◎No continuous location tracking.
Safety Center in the current pilot.
F · Faculty
What a program leader can do.
Faculty can review student progress, open Program Setup, manage homestays, and keep schedule, map, and course tools in one configured program environment.

Program. Field. Connect. Safe.

Students need fast access to help and institutions need reliable ways to communicate during serious events. That does not require continuous location tracking.
◎No continuous location tracking.

Planned institutional capability
Institution → Program → Cohort → Appropriate recipients
Institutional emergency communication, targeted alerts, and recipient selection by program or cohort are not in the current pilot.
Student control stays visible in every safety action.
05 / LEARNING IN THE FIELD
Place is part of the curriculum
The field is part of the classroom.
FieldScholar gives students a structured place to observe, document, interpret and reflect while experiences are still unfolding.
NOTES · DAILY · REFLECTION · TRIP
In the current pilot
Notes, observations, and reflection
Students start a daily note, a reflection, or a trip observation from the program they are already in — including from a specific excursion.

Notes — daily entries, trip notes, and reflections.

FOR SCHOOLS / 01
More confidence for students. More clarity for the people responsible for them.
Give every international, cultural, service, or experiential program its own configured environment — simple for students, dependable for faculty, and privacy-conscious by design.
↗ A bridge between logistics, learning, communication, and safety
FieldScholar isn’t
× An LMS
× A general-purpose chat platform
× A travel agency system
× A continuous student tracking system
× A replacement for institutional emergency infrastructure
07 / ORIGIN
Built from the program outward
A product perspective grounded in the lived academic experience.
FieldScholar emerged from direct experience designing and leading international and experiential learning programs. Its development is informed by global learning, experiential pedagogy, digital humanities, student experience, faculty program leadership, and institutional travel realities.
08 / PILOT
A thoughtful first step
Bring your next program into FieldScholar.
We are working with institutions interested in piloting a more coherent digital experience for learning beyond the classroom.
