Patterns for building patterns communities
Yishay Mor, Pattern Language Network, London Knowledge Lab, UK

Learning Patterns was a Jointly Executed Integrating Research Project of the Kaleidoscope Network of Excellence, funded under the FP6 programme. For further details, please see http://lp.noe-kaleidoscope.org/

The Pattern Language Network (Planet) project is a collaboration between Leeds Metropolitan University, Coventry University, Glasgow Caledonian University, Kings College London and London Knowledge Lab. It is funded by JISC under the Users and Innovation Programme. For more information see http://patternlanguagenetwork.org

Think of a technology that you have encountered recently, which has changed
your life in some way
6
Think of an Eureka! Moment, where you understood how you could use this
technology, or understood something by using the technology (or both)
7
Draw it. (3 minutes)
You can use words, but only as part of the drawing.

Now look left & right, and find a pattern.

Problem:
Bad Design

the critical resource is not the capacity to produce, but the knowledge to do it right.
Problem: The Design Divide the gap between those who have the expertise to develop high-quality tools and resources and those who don’t (Mor & Winters, 2008*)

Problem: acceleration
The world is changing. Fast. Faster. Teachers are learners. Students are researchers. We are all designers of our own
and our peer's learning experiences. Son, this was my
dad's mobile. I want you to have it.

Welcome to the 21st C
• Timelessness is dead.• Expertise is spread.• Design is bread.
We hope you enjoy your journey

Learning patterns for the design and deployment of mathematical games
lp.noe-kaleidoscope.org
1 year / 7 institutions / 6 countries / 16 team members / 6 workshops / >50 patterns
Designing games for mathematical learning requires the assimilation and integration of deep knowledge from diverse domains of expertise - mathematics, games development, software engineering, learning and teaching. All are various facets of design knowledge.

Shortfalls
• Pattern shock– by the time participants “get the idea”, workshop is
over.– Consequently, most participant contributions not
usable.
• Closing the loop– Need to validate patterns by use.
• Us as component– “great stuff, but I couldn't do it without you”

Learning Patterns → Pattern Language Network
• Several commited groups• Extended process• Tighter methodology

Participatory Methodology for Practical Design Patterns
• Problem– Acceleration → need for effective protocols for
sharing of design knowledge
• Context– interdisciplinary communities of practitioners
engaged in collaborative reflection on a common theme of their practice.
– blended setting: co-located meetings + on-line collaborative authoring system.
31
Solution: a series of three* collaborative reflection workshops
• Case Stories Workshop– Engender collaborative reflection among practitioners
by a structured process of sharing stories.
• Pattern Mining Workshop – Eliciting patterns by reflecting on and comparing case
stories.
• Future Scenarios Workshop– Validating and enhancing patterns by applying them to
novel problems.
32
Collaborative reflection workshop
ProblemFacilitate on-going design-
level conversation between designers and practitioners involved in diverse aspects of the problem domain.
Open, trusting and convivial.
And at the same time
Critical, focused and output-directed.
33
Solution
• Before the workshop– Establish communication channels– Collect contributions
• On the day– Intensive guided group work: process
contributions, produce, share.
• After the workshop– Refine products through on-line channels
34
Workshop I:
Sharing case stories
35
The problem with stories
Narrative is a powerful epistemic tool (Bruner).Story-telling is intuitive and captivating.
But, we want to avoid Gossip Divergence Therapy
S.T.A.R.R Situation Set the scene (I wasn't there)
Task What problem where you trying to
solve?
Actions What did you do?
Results What happened?
Reflections
37
Problem: telling a good story is not so easy
• Inexperienced story-tellers might -– Take the context for granted– Preach, apologise, market, or generalise– Avoid inconvenient details
• Interactive feedback should help, but peers might -– Be reluctant to criticize– Attribute misunderstanding to their own faults– Loose attention
38
Three hats
39
From stories to patterns
• Map the forces• Map the concepts
– Table-top concept mapping
• Connect & refactor– Related, super-patterns, sub-patterns
• Validate– Theory & triangulation
