I see a pattern forming. ;) We do love our definitions on this list. FWIW I think a framework is what we're after, which may just include links to real world solutions that are standards based.
An awesome under-taking.

From Wikipedia "A design pattern isn't a finished design that can be transformed directly into code <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_%28computer_programming%29>; it is a description or template for how to solve a problem that can be used in many different situations. ". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_pattern_%28computer_science%29 Isn't a pattern usually a description of how to solve generic complex issues, such as dynamic binding? But an academic course page can't be used in a e-commerce store. It's quite specific for a particular area. Again from Wikipedia, "a Framework can be considered as the processes and technologies used to solve a complex issue. It is the skeleton upon which various objects are integrated for a given solution." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framework http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Software+framework So the description for the academic course page is more skeleton like which allowed integration with other various objects, and thus more framelike? Point out to me where I have gone wrong.
