Design Patterns for Effective Technology Enabled Learning

As always seen from past times, the most effective way of learning is via observing, imitating and participation. But with advent of technology in our daily lives, the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in learning is quite essential. The use of technology has brought about radical changes in the field of distance education. Also for successful progress of any interactive learning environment, the role of an efficient Design is very crucial. In this paper we firstly discuss the role of an effective design pattern, secondly the need of Technology Enabled Learning (TEL) and finally elaborate on the various design patterns that can be applied in the field of TEL.
