Task 14: Final reflections
by Ilya Shmorgun
The new interactive environments course has given me an opportunity to cover a lot of ground and discover things of which I did not know anything before. It was a bit difficult at the very beginning, not knowing what are the things we are discussing and how they might relate to things I already know. After finishing the course I still cannot say that I have a clear understanding of all the topics covered and what does everything have to do with New Interactive Environments. Maybe naming the course “An introduction to activity theory” would be a more apt title.
It would be great if more of the topics and themes could be described by the facilitators in an easier and more understandable way. Reading the blog posts of my colleagues I was left with a feeling that some of they too don’t really have a deep understanding of the topics being covered. Still it is quite possible that more experience and understanding is required in order to be able to reflect on the topics more clearly.
