2. web patterns (even interaction): - unmoderated group (<15 people, round table, group conversation) - moderated (~70 people, more structured (i.e. business school) star patterns (dyadic interaction – instructor vs. students): - lecture (speech – asymmetric relationship) - demonstration (activity, object or process) - studio (individual tasks + dyadic interaction with instructor) clusters (large group divided into small clusters): - studio (instructor interacting with clusters – primary education) - separated (large group separated into smaller – higher education) mixed patterns: - concerto grosso (moderated web as exhibit for large audience) - intermittent conversations (student or group presents => class discusses the work Source: Michael O’Hare The University of California at Berkeley Educational Technology Services Copyright © 1997, paper teaching space taxonomy mixed pattern clusters star pattern web pattern
