Patterns are a systematic way to capture the experience of experts about good or best practices and document these nuggets of wisdom in an accessible way for designers. Patterns are appreciated by academics and practitioners alike because they describe and reason about good designs in a way that makes it possible for others to understand and reuse it.

Educational patterns capture good and successful practices and forms in educational contexts: methods, set-ups, scenarios, content and curriculum design, assessment, resources, tools, administration etc.
