All the participants considered the PAM model very useful in particular because it made possible to understand the interaction and solve contradictions between different stakeholders and systems involved. In particular, the PAM model has enabled participants to consider the development of technologies, such as the App, not only as a mere product, but also as part of multiple different systems of activities that can adequately represent the requests and the points of view of all the social stakeholders involved in the production and in their use. From a broader point of view, using the Activity Theory (AT) framework as a project/reflection tool proved to be particularly effective, both as a reference framework for the design of specific educational technologies projects and as a training tool capable of creating a bridge between formal learning conveyed in academia and real world contexts. The participants highly appreciated the characteristic of the AT to foster a systemic vision which clearly represents the various elements involved and identifies technologies as important mediators of the innovation processes.
