Diana Laurillard (2012)

Teaching as a Design Science: Building Pedagogical Patterns for Learning and Technology

Routledge, New York. (ISBN: 041580387X).

Laurillard argues that teaching should be conceived of as a design science and in the book tackles an overview of what learning is and what it takes to establish such an approach, particularly with the support of technology. The use of 'patterns' is discussed in relation to teachers collaborating to develop a more reliable and tool-based design practice.

"The library is not a shrine for the worship of books. It is not a temple where literary incense must be burned or where one's devotion to the bound book is expressed in ritual. A library, to modify the famous metaphor of Socrates, should be the delivery room for the birth of ideas - a place where history comes to life." — Norman Cousins, 1954
