margin-left:72.0pt'>Of the links you listed, I found the patterns detailed by
Pace University, Joseph Bergin, to be much more easily accessible than those
listed at <a href="http://pedagogicalpatterns.org/" target="_blank">pedagogicalpatterns.org</a>.
I'm not commenting on their respective value, but rather solely on how
the patterns were presented. I think those on the <a
href="http://csis.pace.edu/" target="_blank">csis.pace.edu</a> pages are much
easier to read and understand. I think it's due to the liberal use of
section headings within the <a href="http://pace.edu/" target="_blank">pace.edu</a>
pages; though it's perhaps also due to the <i>choice</i> of headings, and
the style of writing.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
margin-left:72.0pt'>I like the approach you took with your example. In
addition, I do think Bergin's use of a "Thumbnail" section
immediately after the name was very helpful, since I found that the first
question that always occurred to me after reading the pattern name, whether it
was <i>Fixer Upper</i>, <i>Mistake</i>, or <i>Larger Than Life</i>, was,
"What <u>is</u> this Pattern?" And the "Thumbnail"
section succinctly answered that. <o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
margin-left:72.0pt'>I also liked the "Audience / Context" heading
that Bergin uses, since a question for me would often be, "When can/should
I use this? In front of what audience?" I think
"Context" alone could suffice, but I think the former heading may be
more descriptive, and so offer greater clarity to a wider audience.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
margin-left:72.0pt'>By the way, the Pace.edu page seems to have different
iterations. The "Thumbnail" section wasn't present on the link
you provided, but it is present on this version of the page: <a
href="http://csis.pace.edu/~bergin/PedPat1.2.html#earlybird" target="_blank">http://csis.pace.edu/~bergin/PedPat1.2.html#earlybird</a>.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
margin-left:72.0pt'>I think deciding on a template as a first step, as you
suggest, makes sense. As with Weisburgh's template (the Wikipedia page),
perhaps some sections could be optional, and so be present or not depending on
whether they apply to the current pattern. I also like the idea of
keeping the patterns to one page, and of trying to keep their explanations as
simple as possible (but not simpler), so that even a layman can understand
them. As you have suggested, the more clearly we can explain a
pattern, the more we amplify its utility.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p style='margin-left:108.0pt'><b> </b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style='margin-left:108.0pt'><b>Problem</b>: In many disciplines problems do
not have simple, single solutions. Some problems, particularly in the arts and
social sciences, become more complex as more thought is given to them.
Introducing students to points of view they might not have considered helps
broaden their thinking on the relevant issues, and helps develop a deeper
understanding.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style='margin-left:108.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p style='margin-left:108.0pt'><b>Solution</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style='margin-left:108.0pt'>Present the students with opinions of a diverse
group of people on the issue. Try and include opinions outside the experience
of the student. Prompt discussions between the students. Prompt the students to
consider various aspects of the person and their opinion, and to compare and
contrast the various views portrayed. Ask the student to make a brief statement
before reviewing the media setting out their own position on the issue. After
the media has been reviewed, ask the student to consider if their position has
changed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style='margin-left:108.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p style='margin-left:108.0pt'><b>Example</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style='margin-left:108.0pt'>Students are developing ideas of a perfect
society, and are attempting to answer the question ‘what would make a
perfect society?’ Prior to reviewing the material, students print out a
worksheet and make a brief statement of their own view – these might be
discussed in the peer group, where different views will be apparent. However,
it is likely that the peer group will share many viewpoints.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style='margin-left:108.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p style='margin-left:108.0pt'>The students are then presented with views on
‘the perfect society’ from several different people from very
different walks of life and are asked to consider how the background of the
person might influence their views on society. Students are then prompted to
record how the media has influenced their own viewpoint, and whether it has
changed. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p style='margin-left:108.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p style='margin-left:108.0pt'>Students then work together in a group to
discuss their findings, and are prompted to discuss other factors with
questions such as ‘does our view of society change as we age?’ or
‘what are the factors that influence someone’s view on
society’. Ask the students to identify the things that have most
influenced their own point of view throughout the exercise, and to suggest further
opnions that would be helpful.<o:p></o:p></p>

some stuff to start to go at. For me, the result would be a very friendly set
of patterns that are easy to read and understand to people coming to this for
the first time. The problem with some of the existing work is it quickly gets
quite ID-heavy, and I think that might be a barrier to the target audience we
are trying to reach.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

is also a can of worms in attempting to classify them as any taxonomy probably
relies on some underpinning theory. I think behaviourists would probably
classify their patterns differently to constructivists – and indeed would
probably have quite different patterns – it’s not my intention to
get drawn into those sort of debates, rather, where a particular strategy has
been found to have value, it should be offered up for re-use.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

What you're suggesting is non-existent, as far as I know. A toolkit full
of pedagogical designs, complete with illustrations and/or examples.
Wow! That's an instructional designer's dream.<o:p></o:p></p>

margin-left:180.0pt'>Good idea. I was thinking about setting up a page on the
xerte web site<br>
maybe, or the wiki, where we can contribute pedagogical design patterns,<br>
maybe with links to examples. I agree entirely that the instructional<br>
strategy is what underpins the actual learning. As a technologist I have<br>
heard educational types chastise me with 'well, we can't have the<br>
technology leading the pedgogy', to which my muted response is usually<br>
something along the lines of 'ok, lets see the pedagogy then'.<br>
<br>
I think it would be great for people starting to use online materials in<br>
their teaching to have a source of inspiration for how to use them<br>
effectively. Simple, sound ideas that we can describe in a couple of<br>
paragraphs, and not necessarily Xerte specific.<br>
