Patterns can be used to teach problem solving at various levels of abstraction (which are inversely related to the level of detail). Programming patterns are solutions to problems that require the creation of a small fragment of code that will be part of a larger program. Hence, this book is about teaching you how to write such fragments of code. However, it is not about teaching you the of the statements in the fragments, it assumes that you already know the syntax. Though the syntax of a particular programming language can be confusing at first, it is, actually, fairly easy to learn and, given a solution to a problem, it is fairly easy to write the code that implements it. It’s much more difficult to come up with the solution, and that’s what this book will teach you to do.
After you finish reading this book you will have a library of solutions that you can use, and an understanding of how to add to that library.

Accelerating Creative Teaching (ACT) grants provided opportunities to encourage innovations in teaching and share instructors’ creativity in engaging student learning through the use of technology. Projects have been selected based on a blind review of proposals by faculty members from multiple discipline areas and represent the development of deep, meaningful, and reflective learning in students. This collection reflects the proposals, experiences, and reflections of the inaugural cohort of the 2017-18, 2018-19, and 2019-2020 ACT Grant recipients, from a wide range of disciplines and approaches.

This open pedagogy resource is intended as a support for a broad audience that may include faculty in higher education, library faculty and staff, instructional designers, faculty developers, and anyone in education who is interested in contributing to the open movement.  This toolkit was developed by a multi-institutional group, the Open Practices Collaborative. Our purpose was to focus on building relationships that support us as we create, share, and collaborate on various projects that support the open movement. While you can choose to read the toolkit chapters in sequential order, depending on your own goals, you can also jump around to the chapters that feel most relevant to you.
