Abstract
This article is an attempt to promote a research and development methodology that is action-oriented in order to improve the development of telE-learning environments and software artefacts fully adapted to learning activities. We start by presenting an overview of the two main phases of action-oriented research, stressing the importance of control methods. Then we describe difficulties in applying these methods and, finally, we introduce the LORIT, a recent initiative intended to support instrumentation in tele-learning research.
