  • Are traditional assessments fit for purpose in the digital university?  
  • Is the role of the lecturer to be a digital content creator?  
  • Do the risks to data protection and human rights of using AI in education outweigh the benefits?  
  • Can we stop talking about digital natives?  
  • Does the future of universities depend on their ability to deliver quality, digital education?
