Design patterns make hidden knowledge explicit and shareable. They are a tool to communicate practical educational strategies. Our first batch of patterns are solutions we've tried and tested as part of the CLaS project. They cover topics including: creating self-paced modules, teaching design thinking online, object-based learning at scale, running a live Q&A online and scheduling tutorials all in a day. Each pattern includes examples of how they were implemented in a specific context in a unit of study.
esign Patterns are simple sketches and annotations that get down to the essence of how a space works. These key ideas break down the complexity of school design as part of a system. Through the use of Patterns we can design and connect successful educational environments and experiences.
Get inspiration for your own teaching by getting to know tried and tested teaching-learning scenarios from other teachers!
Find patterns that are specific to your teaching context by searching or using the filters.
Benefit from proven practical knowledge: Each pattern is systematically structured and has gone through a review process.
