I agree.

I disagree.:-)
The key problem though may be not necessarily about how to organise a
learning activity as such. Otherwise there is some inherent feelining of
closure in the concept of learning activties.This implies a contradiction
between the hypertext jargon of this list, learning as construction and
the assumption that hypertext like learning can be reduced to some well
organised learning activities. I would therefore suggest a more
precise goal: how to facilitate conditions which allow for negotiation of:
* the nature of the problem (and hence of the objective of the course),
* the nature of the materials (or documentation on whch people base tehir
undertaandings) and
* the nature of the activties which lead the learners to understandings
which in their view function as answers, or paths, to teh problems
perceived.
