The Pedagogical Patterns Project
This project deals with patterns that are designer to capture best
practice in a specific domain. Pedagogical patterns try to capture
expert knowledge of the practice of teaching and learning. The intent
of this project consortium is to capture the essence of the practice in
a compact form that can be easily communicated to those who need the
knowledge. Go to webpage

Alexander Pattern Language Repository
This page holds an online description (abstracts) of hopefully
all patterns of Christopher Alexanders Pattern Language. The
descriptions
have been made by students, as part of the semester design project
