9. What Is A Pattern?

10. “Each Pattern is a rule which
describes what you have to do to
generate the entity which it
defines.” Alexander,
1979:
182
“Each Pattern is a three-part rule,
which expresses a relation
between a certain context, a
problem and a solution.”Alexander,
1979:
247

21. Things to Remember
• Mobile Learning is not just a delivery
channel but goes beyond traditional ADL
• New interoperability standards help to
shape new forms of ADL
• Patterns can help translating technologies
into ADL practice
• Conventional ADL systems hold already
the seeds for mobile learning
