**Episode Highlights:**  
[Professor Michael Keppell](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikekeppell/?ppe=1) shares insights on “seamless learning” and the significant shift from and impact of face-to-face learning and teaching to blended learning for students and staff, building ecosystems and “toolkits” for a more holistic and personalised learning experience for students.

We delve into why assessments are universities’ greatest challenge and the need to evolve assessments to support the learner becoming a problem solver and ready for the workplace. Mike also discusses the importance of empowering academics to co-create and co-learn with students as mentors, learning analytics, the impact of machine learning, and the role of adaptive platforms.
