ABSTRACT

Despite rapid advances, modeling a variety of instructional designs to support variations in teaching and learning during the design of educational technologies is still an open challenge. In this paper, we propose a patterns based approach for the design of educational technologies to address this challenge. This is in contrast with existing literature that focuses either on patterns in education or in software, and not both. The core idea of our approach is to leverage patterns for modeling instructional design knowledge and to connect it with patterns in software architecture. We discuss different categories of patterns in instructional design. We then present the notion of Pattern-Oriented Instructional Design (POID) as a way to model instructional design as a connection of patterns (ProcessPattern, ContentPattern) and integrate it with Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture (POSA) based on fundamental principles in software engineering. We demonstrate our approach through adult literacy case study (287 million learners, 22 Indian Languages and a variety of instructional designs). The results of our approach (both web and mobile versions) are available at http://rice.iiit.ac.in and were transferred to National Literacy Mission Authority of Government of India for further proliferation.

摘要

尽管取得了快速进展，但在教育技术设计过程中对各种教学设计进行建模以支持教学和学习的变化仍然是一个开放的挑战。在本文中，我们提出了一种基于模式的教育技术设计方法来应对这一挑战。这与现有文献形成鲜明对比，现有文献要么关注教育模式，要么关注软件模式，而不是两者都关注。我们方法的核心思想是利用模式对教学设计知识进行建模，并将其与软件架构中的模式联系起来。我们讨论教学设计中不同类别的模式。然后，我们提出面向模式的教学设计（POID）的概念，作为将教学设计建模为模式连接的一种方法（ProcessPattern、ContentPattern）并将其与基于软件工程基本原理的面向模式的软件架构（POSA）集成。我们通过成人扫盲案例研究（2.87 亿学习者、22 种印度语言和各种教学设计）展示我们的方法。我们的方法的结果（网络版和移动版）可在http://rice.iiit.ac.in上获取，并已转移给印度政府国家扫盲任务管理局以进一步扩散。
