   • I want to point before you read Selwyn et al. (2019) that the method might be perceived as rather weak. With that said, the vignettes and the discussion are very well-written and serve as an eye-opener about ethical dilemmas, and that the somewhat dystopic view of education can trigger exciting discussions.
