Two approaches for patterns in eLearning system development are described. The work is based on prior research on generic pattern catalogues and on academic and learning behavior patterns, especially in a Web 2.0 influenced media context. The paper describes how the general architecture pattern must be adapted for eLearning systems and how a set of behavioral pattern can be integrated in the pattern catalogue. The new behavior-driven approach utilizes the collaborative advantages of “2.0-learning” and avoids the problems of disintegrated, fragmented and uncoordinated content reception.
