On the Implications of the Social Web Environment for Pedagogical Patterns

Abstract

This chapter explores the impact of the Social Web in enabling human-to-human communication during the production and management of patterns. To do that, two conceptual models, one aimed towards understanding the stakeholders of patterns, and the other for a pattern production process are proposed. The role of the stakeholders in carrying out the different workflows of a pattern production process is elaborated. In doing so, the prospects and concerns presented by the technologies/applications underlying the Social Web are highlighted.
