Design patterns for teachers – sharing knowledge is good

Design patterns for teachers – sharing knowledge is good

The presentation is based on Knutsson‘s research on using design patterns and pattern languages for teachers’ competence development, and as a way to mitigate challenges from the strong forces of digitalisation in the educational system. A design pattern is a structured way to document recurrent problems and “good” solutions to these problems. A pattern language is a mean to structure the collection of design patterns in a meaningful way. The main idea is that teachers and learning designers should share their good ideas and solutions to improve the way technology is used for teaching and learning.
