“…To start, forty authorized cheat-sheet references from a previous semester's engineering economy course were evaluated to identify the unique characteristics and features. Like many other studies [13][14][15][16][17], characteristics and features such as density and organization were readily apparent. In total, five characteristics were identified for use in the scoring criterion: (1) density; (2) organization; (3) readability; (4) number of formulas; and (5) number of examples.…”

“…Producing authorised cheat sheets provides students with valuable opportunities to consolidate material in order to develop their own meaning. Restrictions on what can be included on these cheat sheets can further help students familiarise themselves with details of the material and has been found to be successful at both the undergraduate and graduate levels of science education (Song et al, 2016; Song & Thuente, 2015). Previous studies have also proposed the possible need to modify course examinations by adding more higher‐order questions so that students cannot rely on cheat sheets simply for the purpose of low‐level recall.…”

Science student development of creative thinking ability is not sufficiently promoted and can even be inadvertently discouraged by current methods of instruction. Aimed at addressing this issue, the present study examined an undergraduate biology course in which scientific content instruction and creative drawing were integrated through use of authorised cheat sheets (personalised visual aids that students draw to bring for consultation during course examinations). Through a mixed‐method analysis, we sought to identify the forms of student cognition that resulted, and how effective this pedagogical strategy was in promoting student creativity. Results indicate predominance of intermediary levels of student creative performance centred on the alteration of ideas and images encountered during the course (83% of drawings). In contrast, creation of original and novel images was considerably less frequent (only 6% of drawings). Authorised cheat sheets were found to be effective as a pedagogical tool for promoting student creativity in the form of structured imagination. Rather than limitless and unconstrained, the resulting student creativity was structured (constrained) by existing conceptual knowledge. Illuminating the relationship between pedagogical tools in a science classroom and students' emergent creativity, the present study underscores the critical need for educators to support student development as future creative professionals.

“…The codification of design knowledge requires special methodologies. There are already various approaches to codify design knowledge like knowledge maps [41], mind maps [41], conceptual maps [45], wikis [30], prototypes [42], design principles [36], cheat sheets [37], and design patterns [11]. To codify design knowledge, it is important to highlight the properties of their formulation [7].…”

Higher legal standards regarding the data protection of individuals, such as the European General Data Protection Regulation, increase the pressure on developing lawful systems. In the development of technologies, not only developers are involved. It also requires knowledge from other stakeholders, such as legal experts, that lack technical knowledge but are required to understand IT artifacts. We see two strings that can benefit from the use of design patterns: first, the well-known use of design patterns to support developers in case of recurring problems. Second, we see potential that legal experts, who have to interact with and understand complicated, novel technologies, benefit from the same patterns. We conduct a revelatory case study using design patterns to develop and assess a smart learning assistant. We scaffolded the case interpretation through the human-centered view of socio-materiality and provide contributions concerning the use of design patterns in the development and assessment of lawful technologies.
