This is an 8.5 minute edited version of a lecture recently given to university students. It provides an introduction to the idea of Activity Theory and provides examples.
Thank you for posting this, very informative and simplifies a complex theory in a nice way. I was wondering if "expansionist learning" is the same concept as "expansive learning" as noted in Engestrom 2001..
A worthwhile introduction to Activity Theory: I particularly liked the example of its use in an "e-learning" environment to identify contradictions within the existing process versus intended goals.
I need to make a presentation on activity theory for an IDT class, so thank you for giving me a good overview to get me started.
