One tells a story, second writes it down, third presents it.
What do you see? After a case story is presented, ask the audience to identify the primary points from their perspective. What is the key message you take from this story?

Scenarios
The ultimate proof of a pattern language is in its effectiveness as a tool for design.
Ask participants to tell as “fantasy story”: a current design challenge as an “I wish” case story.
Apply patterns to derive solution.

Problem Lack of immediate feedback for students leads to fossilisation of errors and misconceptions providing immediate feedback in an iterative fashion can also hinder effective learning since students are able to "grope their way" step-by-step to a correct solution without necessarily having to think about each answer as a whole.

Problem
Good feedback should -
Alert learners to their weaknesses.
Diagnose the causes and dynamics of these.
Include operational suggestions to improve the learning experience.
Address socio-emotive factors.
Tutors know this, but are pressed for time. Or not aware of their feedback strategies Large teaching organisations are not equipped to provide tutors with personal feedback on their teaching
Context
Large scale, technology supported, graded courses
many tutors instructing many students.
Feedback is mediated by technology that allows it to be captured and processed in real time
Topic of study is subject to both grading and formative feedback.
Solution
Embed a mechanism in the learning and teaching system that regularly captures tutor feedback, analyses it, and presents them with graphical representation of the types of feedback they have given. Ideally, this should also include constructive advice as to how to shift from less to more effective forms.
In computer supported environments (e.g. VLEs), this mechanism could be integrated into the system, providing tutors with immediate analysis of their feedback, as well as long-term aggregates.
