Design for Pedagogy Patterns for E-learning

This paper discusses a theory for the foundation of

design for pedagogy based on the principles of pattern

languages. We develop a pattern using a variation of

the Alexandrian pattern structure to embed pedagogy

at the core of the design of e-learning. A pattern

dealing with the organization of an online discussion

group based on the principles of constructivism and

experiential learning is produced to illustrate the

application of the theory.
