Patterns, designs and activities: unifying descriptions of learning structures
by Patrick McAndrew, Peter Goodyear, James Dalziel
International Journal of Learning Technology (IJLT), Vol. 2, No. 2/3, 2006

Abstract: In this paper, we examine emerging ways to describe and structure learning material, learning tasks and learning situations. In particular, we consider three different approaches, looking at common issues and differences in emphasis. These approaches are: learning patterns, inspired by the architectural patterns of Alexander; learning design, as described in the IMS Learning Design specification and which itself draws on Educational Modelling Language (EML) developed at The Open University of the Netherlands and learning activities as used in the Learning Activity Management System (LAMS).
