Symba: A Tailorable Framework to Support Collective Activities in a Learning Context
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an approach that aims at introducing tailoring capacities in a framework designed to support collective activities in a learning context: students state their organization (using a task conceptual notion modelled following Engeström’s triangle) and are then proposed with a reification of the adopted organization, and, in particular, the set of tools they have asked for. This approach has a double advantage, making students achieve a reflective analysis of their activity and enabling them to tailor the activity-level environment without having to cope with a programming-like tailoring language.
