The contents on affordances and constraints of learning technologies were (will be) written by students enrolled during the Spring/Summer, 2013 section of course Education 6620, Issues and trends in educational computing at Memorial University, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.
Affordances (Gibson, 1979) are properties of technology that facilitate activity (Norman, 1993, p. 244) and create "possibilities for agentic action" (Hutchby, 2001, p. 444). Constraints limit the affordances and the properties of action associated with them.
