Architecture Design Patterns
Description:
Through this Learning Design students will activate learning of software architecture design patterns at the higher categories of learning in the Revised Bloom model. By this stage, students have learnt about these architecture design patterns, and have likely implemented software based on these patterns in previous university courses. The focus now is on being able to (a) abstract, compare and reflect on the patterns by describing their functional properties in a broader framework (b) argue in a plausible, logical and rationale way as to why certain patterns should, or should not, be employed.
This small-class activity ties in with your on-going project and provides you an opportunity for experience in applying theory from the class room to real-world cases. This learning design adopts the STREAM model.
Intended Learning Outcomes:
- Analyse and compare architecture design patterns
- Argue for or against the application of an architecture design pattern to a software development project
