Abstract

The creation of a course on Interaction Design at the School of Fine-Arts of the University of Porto presented a good context for the deployment of a pedagogical program built around the study and the writing of design patterns for Interaction Design. This paper presents a report of this experience, of why design patterns were used and how they were studied and created by students.
