    Teaching and learning software design patterns (DPs) is not an easy task. Apart from learning individual DPs and the principle behind them, students should learn how to apply them in real-life situations. Therefore, to make the learning process of DPs effective, it is necessary to include a project component in which students, usually in small teams, develop a medium-sized software application. Following this paradigm, and using active learning techniques, project-based learning and collaborative learning, we have developed a learning environment for software DPs which leverages semantic technologies to integrate several existing learning systems and tools.

    Introduction

     Background
    Design patterns are recurring solutions to
    software design problems
    • Found again and again in
    real-world application development
    DP are increasingly important in SE education
     Needs
    Learning at the pace and in a place that best fits
    Experiencing patterns-based software development
    • In the context of real-world problems

    2
    High-quality learning of software patterns

     Needs (cont’d)
    Collaborative tools
    • Forums, chat, and tools for software artifacts exchange
    Online repositories of
    software patterns and communities of practice
    • Don’t be isolated from software professionals!
    Feedback for teachers about
    learning activities and the use of learning content
     Goal
    Integrative and open collaborative framework for
    learning design patterns
    3
    Current State

     Current learning support


    Individual use of tools
    Lack of means for enabling the exchange of
    data about the activities between tools
    Poor support for
    • Context-aware learning services
    • Inter-tool personalized learning

    4
    Proposal: DEPTHS

     DEsign Patterns Teaching Help System


    Semantic-rich framework: Sharing knowledge

    5
    Learning Scenario

    6
    LOCO-Cite Ontology

     Learning Object Context Ontology (LOCO)

    7
    Domain Ontology

    8
    DEPTHS Architecture

    9
    Implementation of DEPTHS

     Course Management System – Moodle


    Moodle – LOC mapping
    • Sesame repository
    Project module
    OATS (Open Annotation and Tagging System)
    Educational services
     Domain modeling tool – ArgoUML
    ArgoUML – LOC mapping
    Collaborative work support
    Educational services
    10
    Implementation of DEPTHS

     Feedback provision tools for educators


    LOCO-Analyst
     Online repositories
    Wikipedia, Yahoo! Design Pattern, Library,
    Portland Pattern Repository,Hillside.net Pattern
    Catalog…
    KIM framework – semantic annotation platform

    11
    Conclusion

     Benefits
    Students’ learning effectiveness and efficiency
    • Recommending resources from
    online repositories related to the learning goal
    Integration of knowledge about all related learning
    activities
    • Performed by any student with any tool
    Knowledge reuse
    • Teachers spent less time developing online lessons
     Evaluation has been done at Military academy
