User interface (UI) pattern languages may help students of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) to learn about the principles of design, guiding students to build a conceptual model of an interface. A series of studies investigated how HCI students used the TUIPL framework to develop UI-pattern models. Two studies ascertained the students' views on using different forms of UI patterns (illustrated, narrative and diagrammed). Data was collected by observation, questionnaires and completed exercises. The results indicate that the students developed an understanding of pattern language structure, were positive about their experience building UI-pattern models, and that patterns aided communication. They also indicated that improvements made between Studies One and Two to enhance the learning experience for students were effective.
