Resumen
This paper focuses on the framing conditions for ICT-enhanced regional learning, by making a close investigation of the notion of the collective subject and its relation to regional learning and ICT from the perspective of activity theory. Methodologically, the study conducts a qualitative evaluation on an action research project, where regional learners have engaged in collaborative writing. The study concludes that collective subjects and their systemic relations analyzed in the context of activity explain in some cases why appropriation of ICT tools for learning does not take place. Specifically, it could be pivotal when the actions supported with new tools turn out not to belong to a unitary activity but to several activities.
