A quick look in the literature reveals different meanings for an enactive system, depending on the knowledge domain. This paper explores the subject by conducting a Systematic Literature Review to construct a big picture on the subject. Results reveal the paths being traced and issues still unexplored that offer opportunities for investigation in the human computer interaction field.

More recently, the recognition of the affective quality of systems is becoming increasingly important as well. As an emerging subject, there is a lack of discussion on related concepts and, ultimately, on their practical implications. The objective of this paper is to bring into discussion the concept of affect under the perspective of affordance. From a socio-cultural view, this paper articulates affective affordances within the theoretical references of Organizational Semiotics and the Socially Aware Design; and concludes with prospections on potential applications for the design of technology.

Making design easy: A usability evaluation of latest generation learning design tools

This paper is a report on the findings of a usability evaluation of two latest generation Learning Design tools. The Heuristic Evaluation method was used to highlight usability problems by a group of graduate students in a Human-Computer Interaction discipline; quantitative and qualitative methods were used to analyze the results. Findings indicate the presence of significant usability problems related to all aspects of use, including a considerable number of serious problems that can completely undermining usability and diffusion of these tools. Five main guidelines are suggested to make Learning Design software more suitable to the use of teachers.

LD has started to become an important and recognized activity among teachers and, in recent years, many LD software tools have been developed, to simplify the process of design and to foster the reflection about teaching. However, these tools, also because of usability problems, seem to suffer of an incompatibility between the support of design sharing and the encouragement of teaching reflection. This paper investigates ...

“Learning for All”: is everyone learning?

Our specific purpose is to understand how technologies influence the learning process, and more specifically how they affect (if they do)“soft inclusion”, ie effective learning (not just participation) of under-performing or over-performing pupils. The Learning for All project (L4ALL) has collected and analysed 150 educational experiences, to become 300 by October 2012. The “interpretations” of these ...
