affordances

The more I think about design, the more I like Gibsons radical notion of affordances (which are not a property of a thing, or a technology, but are the result of a dynamic interaction between the learner and the environment).

And we are trying to get together a research project specifically informed by this notion of affordances so, inevitably, this has spawned another blog:

We are putting together a reseach proposal that is framed in terms of affordances.

I have started a new blog, specifically on affordances and on the research project, on:
