Abstract
Educational design patterns describe reusable solutions to the design of learning tasks and environments. While there are many projects producing patterns, there are few approaches dealing with supporting the instructor/user in instantiating and running those patterns on learning management systems (LMS). This paper aims to make a leap forward in this direction by presenting two different methods of embedding design pattern frameworks into LMS: (1) Supplying custom LMS components as part of the design patterns, and (2) Configuring existing LMS components based on design patterns. Descriptions of implementations and implications of these methods are provided.
