| Abstract: | It is an unsettled issue between research traditions how to negotiate the implied rather than acknowledged dispute between individual agency, i.e. e the ability, need and urge of an individual to act on/in the world and the functioning of a social system. Relations between people are just as crucial for negotiating a learning object as is the individual initiative. I resolve part of the debate by drawing on a digital classroom tool deployed for facilitating verbal group interaction. |
