This subtopic conceptual knowledge of design patterns including:
- Definition: A design pattern is a standard solution to a common problem within a specific context. Originating in software engineering, design patterns have been adapted to learning engineering to provide structured, reliable solutions to educational challenges.
- Similarity to Software Design Patterns: Just as software engineers use patterns like Model-View-Controller (MVC) to manage complex applications, learning engineers apply patterns to structure content delivery, assessment, and learner engagement.
