What learners teach us: e-learning patterns for adult ICT education

Abstract

Based on our own experiences in the domain of University level ICT teaching for adult distance learning and blended learning, we develop a vision on design patterns for learning support. We analyze relevant pattern collections for structure as well as reusable content. We categorize learning goals at different levels, and we indicate how patterns may be developed and provided in a framework that enables design to match learning needs in context.
