Subject: Psychology and Educational Sciences
Take a look at the latest books by Professor Mike Sharples, speaker at the webinar Generative AI: Transforming Higher Education
This expert argues that all the pedagogies in the book Practical Pedagogy could be improved with AI
In the webinar Generative AI: Transforming Higher Education, Professor Mike Sharples, Emeritus Professor of Educational Technology at The Open University (UK), discussed the capabilities and limitations of generative artificial intelligence in higher education.
The Library contains two of the latest books by this expert:
This book examines whether machines can write a good story, exploring the ingredients of human creativity that are needed: composing coherent texts, creating narrative worlds with believable characters, and most difficult of all, adopting a human narrator's working model (self-correction, self-knowledge, etc.). The authors include examples of machines that have become authors from the past and present. There is also a chapter in which readers learn how a story generator works by means of a game.
A guide to trends in education. The author has selected 40 pedagogies from the famous annual Innovating Pedagogy reports and has expanded the information to offer a practical and complete guide. Each section describes how the pedagogy is applied, with success stories, aspects for debate on its scope and limitations, and practical suggestions for its application. The 40 pedagogies include translanguaging, enriching learning by using multiple languages, and the teach-back approach, in which learners explain what they have learned.
