Participatory Pattern Workshops: A Methodology for Open Learning
Design Inquiry
Yishay Mor, Steven Warburton, Niall WintersALT-C 2012, Manchester
5 minute exercise
• Teller: tell the story of an innovation you were involved in.
• Asker: make sure you get all the details.• Noter: take notes of– Context:
social, material, intentional– Aims / desired change– Practices– Actions and results
Design
everyone designs who devises courses of action aimed at changing existing situations into desired ones
(Simon, 1969)Objects with intent Bad design is.. just letting things happen.
John Hockenberry (ted.com)
Conversation with the materials of a situation
Donald Schona mutual learning process between users and designers

Learning Design
The deliberate creative practice of devising new practices, plans of activity, resources and tools aimed at achieving particular educational aims in a given situation.
Challenge: sharing design knowledge
• Context:– Heterogeneous communities of educational
practitioners.– Distributed expertise.– Tacit intuitive knowledge.– Implicit assumptions.
• Aim:– Enable critical collaborative reflection on design
experiences.

DesignNarratives
Design Scenarios
Design Patterns
Design Narratives• Accounts of critical events from a personal, phenomenological
perspective. • Focus on design in the sense of problem solving
– describing a problem in the chosen domain, the actions taken to resolve it and their unfolding effects.
• Provide an account of the history and evolution of a design over time– including the research context, the tools and activities designed, and
the results of users’ interactions with these. • Portray the complete path leading to an educational
innovation, not just its final form – including failed attempts and the modifications they espoused.
Design Patterns
• Originated as a design language within architecture (Alexander et al, 1977).
• The core of a design pattern is a local functional statement: “for problem P, under circumstances C, solution S has
been known to work”• Narratives, one step abstracted.
Example: Guess my X
Example: try once, refine once

Design Scenarios: Refutable design claims
– D. narratives: design knowledge extracted from experience. – D. patterns: organize this knowledge into complex modular structures.
Design scenarios borrow the form of design narratives, adapting it to a description of imagined futures.
• Both a scientific form and as a practical tool. – Offer a means for validating the design claims emerging from design narratives
and encapsulated in design patterns, by formulating refutable predictions– A powerful tool in the hands of the designer, allowing her to articulate a thick
description of a design challenge in a realistic context, and harness existing design knowledge and theoretical frameworks to propose a viable solution to this challenge.
Design Narratives Workshop
Engender collaborative reflection among practitioners by a structured process of sharing stories of successful practice.
Design Patterns Workshop
Shift from anecdotes to transferable design knowledge by identifying commonalities across case stories, and capturing them in a semi-structured form.
Design Scenarios Workshop
Validate design patterns by applying them to novel real problems in real contexts.
