The hierarchical structure of activity in its broad sense can be analyzed at different levels: activities, actions and operations (Leontiev, 1974). “Actions are conscious goal-directed processes that must be undertaken to fulfil the object. Different actions may be undertaken to meet the same goal. Goals have lower-level goals, and so forth. Nardi (1997, p. 74) adds that “actions are similar to what are often referred to in the HCI literature as tasks (e.g. Norman, 1991)

In LAMS, teachers and learners in their respective roles perform an assortment of tasks. :)
