There is growing interest in applying activity theory to problems of human- computer interaction, and an international community of researchers is contributing to the effort.Contributors : Rachel Bellamy. It provides a hierarchical framework for describing activity and a set of perspectives on practice. Ellen Christiansen. Activity theory is a psychological theory with a naturalistic emphasis, with roots going back to the 1920s in the Soviet Union. The research described in Context and Consciousness presents activity theory as a means of structuring and guiding field studies of human-computer interaction, from practical design to theoretical development. Kari Kuutti. Boris Velichkovksy. Zinchenko.. Nardi. Victor Kaptelinin. Vladimir P. James Reeves. Intended for designers and researchers, Context and Consciousness brings together 13 contributions that apply activity theory to problems of human-computer interaction.Understanding how people actually use computers in their everyday lives is essential to good design and evaluation. Activity theory has be

It clearly states the implications of activity theory to instructional design/architecture, knowledge management and all that fun stuff. The first couple of papers, by Nardi, Kuutiti and others, are particularly provocative.
