SEMINARS - A Pedagogical Pattern Language about teaching seminars effectively
by Astrid Fricke and Markus Voelter
This pattern language is intended for those instructors in the industry or academia,
who are not studied educators. We wrote it especially for those,
who feel that something is going wrong with their seminars - perhaps
they are even frustrated and do not know what to change or what the
reasons could be. This pattern language gives some hints for
improving the situation, i.e. how you can run better seminars.

Fourteen pedagogical patterns
by Joseph Bergin
The [..] fourteen patterns form the beginning approaches to a pattern
language for Computer Science course development. They might have

structure (semester courses) to small scale (daily activities). A long
term goal is to develop them into a proper language.
This will require supplementing them with others as well.
