CHAPTER 3: Situated Activity Systems
6 Key Elements of a Situated Activity System
An activity can be “situated” or can “occur” through a programmer’s management of the
6 key elements.
oInteracting People
Interactions between people is a linear (endless) sequence of encounters
with only 1 encounter happening at a time.
If 1 element shifts within an activity or event, the entire sequence of
encounters shifts
A Programming needs to try to account for change in an event
Have a back up
“Writing a script”
Overall Possibilities are exponential
They need to be designed for a specific audience
oIf it doesn’t relate to the audience, it will fail.
2 types of Programming Interactions:
Macro Segmentation:
oThis is when a programmer develops activities for a group
who are seeking the same benefits as you.
The programmer will recruit individuals to join in
the activity.
Micro Segmentation:
oThis is when the leader knows the individuals are already
familiar with or apart of the same group as each other.
Here, the individuals are identified and then the
programmer develops a program for them.
oPhysical Setting
Where the program is held (location)
What is going on around
Will include our sensory components:
Visual (Sight)
Aural (Hearing)
Olfactory (Smell)

Document Summary
Start coming up with ideas for blueprint!! (due into reggienet on 2/1) 6 key elements of a situated activity system. An activity can be situated or can occur through a programmer"s management of the. Interactions between people is a linear (endless) sequence of encounters with only 1 encounter happening at a time. If 1 element shifts within an activity or event, the entire sequence of encounters shifts. A programming needs to try to account for change in an event. They need to be designed for a specific audience: if it doesn"t relate to the audience, it will fail. Macro segmentation: this is when a programmer develops activities for a group who are seeking the same benefits as you. The programmer will recruit individuals to join in the activity. Micro segmentation: this is when the leader knows the individuals are already familiar with or apart of the same group as each other.
