Mike Sharples is Emeritus Professor of Educational Technology at The Open University, UK. He is Honorary Visiting Professor at Anglia Ruskin University, Centre for Innovation in Higher Education. His research involves pedagogy-informed design of new technologies and environments for learning. He is author of over 300 publications in pedagogy, science education, educational technology and the learning sciences.

"It's remarkable to find such clear yet comprehensive writing about the future of teaching and learning. With this guide in hand, educators will be able to discover and explore a collection of powerful, research-based approaches like epistemic education, computational thinking, embodied learning, among many other recent innovations."Jeremy Roschelle, Executive Director, Learning Sciences at Digital Promise, California, USA"Practical Pedagogy is a timely and beautifully-crafted book that accurately describes what good pedagogy should be. Practical suggestions for teaching and learning link to theoretical perspectives, with evidence of impact on learners. It is essential reading for educators starting out on their career and also for experienced professionals in need of a gentle reminder of what is possible in modern day classrooms, schools and education systems."Ollie Bray, Principal at Kingussie High School, Scotland"This is a great book, born out of the great series of Innovating Pedagogy reports published by The Open University. It is a clearly written compendium of evidence-informed practical guidance about how to learn, teach and assess. This will be an invaluable tool in any teacher’s toolkit."Rose Luckin, Professor of Learner Centred Design at UCL Knowledge Lab, London, England"Oftentimes, teachers and policy makers are enthusiastic and passionate to seek improvements and innovations in teaching and learning, but are not very well informed about what can work and how it works. Practical Pedagogy fills in this gap. Its lucid presentations provide novel and valuable insights for education stakeholders to understand, improve and innovate with the latest developments of emerging pedagogies."Chee-Kit Looi, Professor of Education at National Institute of Education, Singapore"Practical Pedagogy can be read through from beginning to end, providing a comprehensive survey of the range of pedagogies that have been tried and researched. It can also be read by theme as a primer to the teaching strategies under that umbrella. Like so many education books, it also very much lends itself to "dipping into" for stimulating reflection and inspiration... it deserves a place on any leader’s bookshelf."Terry Freedman, Schools Week
