The effect of a teacher-designed assessment tool on an instructor's cognitive activity

This paper examines how the design and addition of a software tool to an existing computer network learning environment shifts the overall activity of teaching and assessment. We introduce a learning environment developed by Scardamalia, Bereiter, McLean, Swallow & Woodruff (1989) called Computer-Supported Intentional Learning Environment, (CSILE). We examine the shift in activity within the context of Leontiev’s theory of human activity, attempting to show, through a detailed case study, the relationship between the introduction of a new software tool and a shift in human activity.
