Design patterns for teaching in online settings

This paper presents a concise pattern language that has been developed for designing online learning and teaching. The aim of these patterns is to facilitate novice teachers in designing both their online environments and learning experiences in a manner that is scaffolded yet maintains and supports their agency in the design process. The value of these patterns, as sources of reusable design insights that capture expert knowledge, provides a mechanism for novice teachers to realise their creative pedagogical intent in a tested and framed manner. The openness of these patterns to individual and group interpretation also allows for connections to related pattern languages that sit within the learning and teaching domain.
