The document outlines the agenda for the 6th International Workshop on Motivational and Affective Aspects in Technology-Enhanced Learning (MATEL 2015). The agenda includes 5 presentations on topics related to motivation and affect in technology-enhanced learning between 10:00-12:15. From 14:30-16:00 there will be a session on developing patterns to describe experiences and solutions related to motivational and affective aspects of socio-technical systems. In the afternoon participants will work on developing pattern structures to describe their own contributions and present results.

Engineering socio-technical systems
 Trends towards social-everything
• Social project management, social collaboration, social
business process management, …
 Engineering such solutions has only partly to do with
technical features
 Example: why does one messenger app succeed,
another disappears in oblivion?
 User experience in social systems
• Motivational structures
• Affective reactions

Idea of patterns
 In complex domains, such as motivational & affective
aspects it is difficult to come up with cookbook recipes
 Pattern-based approaches have proven useful in similar
areas, ranging from architecture via software
engineering („design patterns“) to educational patterns

11. 11

Why patterns?
 Patterns provide a structured description of
experiential knowledge on good practices, making
explicit the context of the experiences
 Patterns are especially useful for newcomers to a
domain to gain access to experiential knowledge
 Patterns can evolve into a domain language

Sample structure
 Name
 Problem
 Context
 Analysis
 Known Solution(s)
 References/evidence
 Diagrammatic representation of solution
 Example
 Related patterns

What‘s difficult about patterns
 It is about decontextualizing experiences
 It is about proven solutions
 It is about making it accessible to others
