# 3.3 Pattern Library

🌟 For guidance on using the Pattern Library, refer to [**Chapter 6 - Create a New Design from Patterns**](https://ideals-doc.cite.hku.hk/books/learning-design-studio-user-guide/chapter/6-creating-a-new-design-from-patterns)

To better support creating a learning design, the IDEALS team developed the Pattern Library, which **provides pre-defined, hands-on resources** for IDEALS users.

Please be aware of this ![image.png](https://ideals-doc.cite.hku.hk/uploads/images/gallery/2025-12/scaled-1680-/Hs9image.png) button. When you see it, the Learning Design Studio can offer patterns for you to use.

#### **1. Course-level Patterns**

Figure 3.8: Course-level Patterns

The LDS provides course-level patterns that offer most of the information needed to complete the learning design for a specific topic, such as engineering design. Each course-level pattern includes intended learning outcomes, a disciplinary practice and a pedagogical approach, a curriculum component sequence, and learning tasks.

#### **2. Curriculum Component Patterns**

<table border="1" id="bkmrk-figure-3.8%3A-curricul" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; height: 271.3px; border-width: 0px;"><tbody><tr style="height: 242.5px;"><td style="height: 242.5px; border-width: 0px;">![image.png](https://ideals-doc.cite.hku.hk/uploads/images/gallery/2025-11/scaled-1680-/BrDimage.png)</td><td style="height: 242.5px; border-width: 0px;">![image.png](https://ideals-doc.cite.hku.hk/uploads/images/gallery/2025-09/scaled-1680-/xF9image.png)</td></tr><tr style="height: 28.8px;"><td class="align-center" colspan="2" style="height: 28.8px; border-width: 0px;">Figure 3.9: Curriculum Component Patterns</td></tr></tbody></table>

The LDS provides curriculum component patterns. Each pattern recommends a sequence of tasks for a specific phase of learning, designed to scaffold student learning.


#### **3. Task Patterns**

<table border="1" id="bkmrk-%C2%A0-figure-3.9%3A-task-p" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; height: 302.6px; border-width: 0px;"><tbody><tr style="height: 273.8px;"><td style="height: 273.8px; border-width: 0px;">![image.png](https://ideals-doc.cite.hku.hk/uploads/images/gallery/2025-11/scaled-1680-/Oyoimage.png)</td><td style="height: 273.8px; border-width: 0px;">![image.png](https://ideals-doc.cite.hku.hk/uploads/images/gallery/2025-09/scaled-1680-/ntGimage.png)</td></tr><tr style="height: 28.8px;"><td class="align-center" colspan="2" style="height: 28.8px; border-width: 0px;"> Figure 3.10: Task Patterns</td></tr></tbody></table>

<span style="text-align: justify;">The LDS provides task patterns. Each pattern specify the details of each task—such as task type, delivery mode, e-learning tool, and learning resources.</span>

#### **4. Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) Patterns**

<table border="1" id="bkmrk-%C2%A0-figure-3.9%3A-intend" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; height: 252.512px; border-width: 0px;"><colgroup><col style="width: 50%;"></col><col style="width: 50%;"></col></colgroup><tbody><tr style="height: 242.512px;"><td style="height: 242.512px; border-width: 0px;">![image.png](https://ideals-doc.cite.hku.hk/uploads/images/gallery/2025-11/scaled-1680-/Quzimage.png)</td><td style="height: 242.512px; border-width: 0px;">![image.png](https://ideals-doc.cite.hku.hk/uploads/images/gallery/2025-11/scaled-1680-/UIPimage.png)</td></tr><tr style="height: 10px;"><td class="align-center" colspan="2" style="height: 10px; border-width: 0px;"> Figure 3.11: Intended Learning Outcomes Patterns</td></tr></tbody></table>

The LDS provides intended learning outcome patterns for all four categories of ILOs across different subjects.

#### **5. Disciplinary Practice (DP) Patterns**

 Figure 3.12: Disciplinary Practice Patterns

The LDS provides disciplinary practice patterns such as Engineering Design and Scientific Investigation.

#### **6. Pedagogical Approach (PA) Patterns**
