Elesi: Design Patterns by Gerson https://padlet.com/habigerson/elesipatterns Recurring learning experience design patterns en-us 2022-10-13 12:08:55 UTC 2025-09-24 21:13:19 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/267b.png Memory habigerson https://padlet.com/habigerson/elesipatterns/wish/2338638513 For increasing retention of a concept or idea, by updating existing mental models 
  • Prior knowledge: learners can answer a quiz or check point to assess their prior knowledge on a topic 
  • Acquisition: learners read/watch/listen to materials on a topic
  • Reorganize: learners pay attention to new knowledge learned from the materials, and document them in a mnemonic, essay, table, or graphic organizer

  • Practice activity: learners get concrete or realistic experiences from a structured activity, preferably stretching their current skill or knowledge level
  • Reflection: learners discuss with co-learners how that experience was, particularly reflecting on challenges with the activity and assumptions made
  • Input: learners read/watch/listen to material which explains a concept that is related to their activity
  • Application: learners are tasked to apply the concept through another realistic scenario or activity, which can be similar to the initial practice activity

  • Demonstration: learners watch an expert demonstrate the competency
    Explanation: learners 
  • Practice drills: 
  • Performance assessment

  • Individual acquisition: learners read/watch material at their own pace
  • Guided group discussion: learners answer prompts together to share how they understand the material

  • Pair-shares: learners exchange past stories about their experiences on a particular topic
  • Case story: learners listen to a case story about a particular individual’s experience about the topic
  • Collaborative narrative: learners work in their pairs/groups to make connections with their prior stories with the new content

  • Desk research: learners gather resources about a topic
  • Collaborate: learners work in groups to accomplish a shared output together during class

  • Introduction: learners read/watch/listen to the content, introducing the outline and goals and initial points
  • Checkpoint: learners answer a question to check their understanding, receiving immediate feedback
  • Continued acquisition: learners read/watch/listen to content
  • Discuss: learners share take-aways, connections, questions, and reactions about the content
  • Wrapping up: learners read/watch/listen to the content, revisiting the outline and goals
  • Checkpoint: learners answer a question to check their understanding, receiving immediate feedback

  • Instructions and inspiration: learners listen to instructions for the exercise, and see examples of outputs for inspiration
  • Studio time: learners create outputs with dedicated time for producing work
  • Critiques: learners share their outputs to each other, while exchanging feedback and questions

  • Drill: learners perform an activity and receive immediate feedback
  • Discuss: learners work in their peer learning circles to share experiences and strategies
  • Drill: learners perform another activity with increased difficulty level
  • Discuss: learners work in their peer learning circles to share experiences and strategies
