Paper presented at the First Kaleidoscope SIG CSCL Conference (Lausanne, Switzerland, October 2004), (2004)

Abstract

The paper deals with design issues related to creating conditions for productive learning in network learning environments. It describes an approach to learning in technologically based environments, based on the Vygotskian cultural-historical approach and activity theory. The paper introduces the cultural-historical approach, provides an overview of main findings of research into information and communication technologies (ITC) in learning, conducted in recent years at the Department of Informatics, Umeå University, and makes the case for ?Learning-Centered Participatory Design? as a design methodology suitable for addressing modern challenges of networked learning environments.
