The use of design patterns in the design and production of electronic content in e-learning environment

Introduction: The development of electronic content based on one of the main challenges facing e-learning instructional design patterns and the education system is the key to success. This study examines the position of design patterns in the design and production of electronic content in their e-learning environment. Methods: This article is a review article, and a library. In its edition of Internet searches using search engines and databases including authoritative valid Magiran, Noormags, Scientific Information Database, Science Direct, Google Scholar and a literature review published in books and scientific papers have been used. Results: Based on instructional design patterns behaviorism, cognitive and constructivism in the design and production of electronic learning environments are a few suggestions that can design courses at the University of Medical Sciences to help the effectiveness of the quality of education. No doubt a significant role in achieving the goals of e-learning content plays, so that the production of electronic content regardless of special measures such as the use of instructional design patterns, endanger its success. Discussion: Since the use of instructional design strategies and techniques in the production of electronic content were significantly associated with learning and motivation of medical students, it is necessary enforcement organizations and universities also designing the e-learning training and applying scientific approaches have to be attentive.
