Abstract
This chapter introduces a design-led way of thinking about practice-based education (PBE). It offers an overview of activity-centred educational design, sketching the principal design components that constitute a supportive environment for PBE. It describes how tasks, tools and people co-configure productive learning environments and it sets limits on what it is legitimate to try to design. The chapter then traces the development of some ideas about pedagogy and technology that have been evolving in our research and in our PBE designs over the last 20 years.
