![[Environment Familiarisation Activity]
Context
You are setting up an online teaching session with a new of group of learners who may or may not be familiar with the
particular platform you have chosen. You want your first session to run smoothly and have followed the “Keep it Simple” rule.
Problem
There is always a first time using a new or unfamiliar technology. If students and instructors do not have the necessary basic
technical skill-set they will not be able to participate actively in any learning and teaching activity, or event.
Forces
● Learners are individuals and each will have different levels of digital fluency based on previous experience and related
competences. There may be a steep learning curve to develop the skills to operate in the technical environment.
Solution
Therefore, devise an activity with supporting notes that will help learners familiarise themselves with your chosen online
platform. This training activity will ensure that all learners have the opportunity to learn baseline skills for access and
participation.

The Value of Design Patterns in Designing Online Teaching
Design patterns can help support others in making successful design decisions for online teaching by drawing inspiration from previous successful designs and making that knowledge reusable. The document discusses how design patterns make tacit design knowledge visible, shareable, and reusable. It provides an example environmental familiarization activity pattern and discusses how design pattern workshops that incorporate narrative cases, design challenges, and prototypes can help facilitate the capture and reuse of expert design knowledge at scale. In summary, design patterns can transfer representations of practice that are appropriate for the user, present essential elements, encourage creative use, and add the voice of expert designers.
