3.3 Pattern Library

🌟 For guidance on using the Pattern Library, refer to Chapter 6 - Create 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  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

Figure 3.9: Curriculum Component Patterns

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

Figure 3.10: Task Patterns

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.

4. Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) Pattern

Figure 3.11: Intended Learning Outcomes Patterns

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