@article{WintersMor2007, abstract = {One of the important themes that emerged from the CAL’07 conference was the failure of technology to bring about the expected disruptive effect to learning and teaching. We identify one of the causes as an inherent weakness in prevalent development methodologies. While the problem of designing technology for learning is irreducibly multi-dimensional, design processes often lack true interdisciplinarity. To address this problem we present IDR, a participatory methodology for interdisciplinary techno-pedagogical design, drawing on the design patterns tradition (Alexander, Silverstein & Ishikawa, 1977) and the design research paradigm (DiSessa & Cobb, 2004). We discuss the iterative development and use of our methodology by a pan-European project team of educational researchers, software developers and teachers. We reflect on our experiences of the participatory nature of pattern design and discuss how, as a distributed team, we developed a set of over 120 design patterns, created using our freely available open source web toolkit. Furthermore, we detail how our methodology is applicable to the wider community through a workshop model, which has been run and iteratively refined at five major international conferences, involving over 200 participants. }, added-at = {2011-02-04T12:21:27.000+0100}, author = {Winters, Niall and Mor, Yishay}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2dea6e9bcf73fecbf6004c78aa714d5d3/yish}, interhash = {3427fa2a80238614f6d13e2b1ad54643}, intrahash = {dea6e9bcf73fecbf6004c78aa714d5d3}, journal = {Computers and Education}, keywords = {CERME-6-patterns IDR KalDesignResearch LDSE LP asld-book asld2011 cal09-patterns design designpatterns eLPBookMor edid9 education haifa-edtech iterative jime08 ldg learning learningdesigngrid lgcbook lp methodology my myown mythesis olnet patterns pedagogicalpatterns polonsky postdocapplication research}, number = 2, pages = {579-600}, publisher = {Elsevier}, timestamp = {2011-02-04T12:21:27.000+0100}, title = {IDR: a participatory methodology for interdisciplinary design in technology enhanced learning}, url = {http://telearn.noe-kaleidoscope.org/open-archive/browse?resource=1195}, volume = 50, year = 2008 } @article{MorWintersJIME08, abstract = {Technologically enhanced learning environments raise complex challenges for their designers, developers and users. Design patterns and pattern languages have recently emerged as a potential framework for addressing some of these challenges. However, the uptake of design patterns has been slow outside of the computer science community. We argue that this is largely a consequence of a weak positioning of pattern languages, as a form of delivering expert knowledge to layperson, and suggest an alternative view: the development of a pattern language as a community endeavour. In terms of open education, the workshop model can be viewed as an open production process for developing educational resources, in our case design patterns. We propose a model of pattern elicitation workshops, in which collaborative development of a pattern language provides a framework for sharing design knowledge within interdisciplinary communities. This model was iteratively developed at five international conferences. It was then postulated as a design pattern itself, encompassing a series of practices and a set of supporting tools. We believe this model could be applied in a broad range of communities concerned with the development of open digital educational resources.}, added-at = {2011-02-04T12:20:04.000+0100}, author = {Mor, Yishay and Winters, Niall}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2ac5f7552c7d03c7811c9ca8d2daac021/yish}, editor = {McAndrew, Patrick and Godwin, Steve and Okada, Ale and Santos, Andreia}, interhash = {800e0b69d33c32fb83ed450cfdfd1d0b}, intrahash = {ac5f7552c7d03c7811c9ca8d2daac021}, journal = {Journal of Interactive Media}, keywords = {Architecture4Participation CERME-6-patterns CaseStudies Games IDR JIME Learning Mathematics OER PatternLanguages asld-book asld2011 cal09-patterns casestudies contel11 design designpatterns eLPBookMor edid9 education educational elp-feasst haifa-edtech jime08 language ldg learning learningdesigngrid lgcbook lp mathgamespatterns methodology my myown mythesis olnet open opencontent openeducationalresources opensource participatory patternlanguagenetwork patternlanguagenetworkpublications patterns planetpublications polonsky ppw selected top tuebingenfeasst wleformativeeassessment workshops}, timestamp = {2011-02-04T12:20:04.000+0100}, title = {Participatory design in open education: a workshop model for developing a pattern language}, url = {http://jime.open.ac.uk/2008/13/}, year = 2008 }
