The systemic view of human activity after Engestrom [Engestrom, 1987]. The basic mediation triangle shows the relationship between the subject, an object, and the mediating auxiliary means. The extended mediation triangle accounts for the fact that humans are always part of communities. Therefore the relationship between the subject and the community which is mediated by social rules is shown, as well as the relationship between the object and the community which is meditated by the division of labour

There are many initiatives for integrating interactive multimedia applications into the curricula of schools and universities. Most of them are lacking a sound theory of what kind of representation and interactivity they should provide. In this paper we review the cultural-historical psychology of Vygotsky and use this to analyse an academic enviro...

... required for achieving an objective is distributed over the human actor, the mediating artefacts, the rules which guide the use of the artefacts, as well as the social community and the rules that divide the responsibility in the community. The concept of artefact-mediated human activity has been portrayed traditionally as a triangle (see Fig. 1). Thus, human activity can be understood only by considering the tools and signs that mediate this activity, and by understanding how they have evolved and changed the activity. [Engestrom, 1987]. The basic mediation triangle shows the relationship between the subject, an object, and the mediating auxiliary means. The extended ...
