Digital teaching is by no means a new phenomenon in higher education, however COVID-19 accelerated this process for many universities, creating both space for experimentation and innovation, in addition to highlighting resource inequalities and knowledge gaps among students, staff, and institutions. 

In this issue, Elephant in the Lab invites you to reflect on digital teaching and the changes it has brought to the university – both recently and in the last years. Together, let’s ponder questions such as:

• What challenges and opportunities do lecturers experience through digital education? 
• How has digital teaching improved or hindered students’ learning experiences and access to higher education? 
• In what ways, has digital teaching improved or diminished the quality of university life? 
• The speed and commitment to digital education varies across the higher education landscape: why have some institutions embraced digital teaching more than others? What will the future hold for the digital classroom?

Contributions can come in the form of either short analyses, crossposts, interviews or opinions.
