[Suggested by Palmyre. Good introduction to activity theory and sociocultural perspectives, with a particular emphasis on how theoretical principles may be related to interaction design. Considers other leading theories such as ANT and situates these in relation to activity theory.]

[Suggested by DS: I work with actor-network approach to design thinking - and Latours notion of assemblies of things is interesting also for museum communication and learning.]

Leinhardt & Knutson (2004) Listening in On Museum Conversations. Alta Mira Press.
[Suggested by PP: In the museum learning research - not to be confused with visitor studies - there has been some interesting work aimed at developing concepts of museum learning by analyzing museum conversations from a sociocultural perspective. Technology is not a focus of this work but I think the analytical approach to learning makes this relevant material to discuss in relation to activity theory. My critique is the focus on and methods used for 'model buidling' museum learning.]
