“…Using Activity Theory, Kaptelinin and Nardi reconceptualize affordances in a social-culture background describing them as mediating actions [25]. Similarely, Vyas et al [38] describe that affordances in interaction exist between the user and environment, emerges from activities and practices and are therefore socially and culturally constructed. Finally, Kreijns and Kirschner [26] introduced social affordances as properties of collaborative environments "which act as socialcontextual facilitators relevant for the learners social interactions.…”

The medical record is a central artifact used to organize, communicate and coordinate information related to patient care. Despite recent deployments of electronic health records (EHR), paper medical records are still widely used because of the affordances of paper. Although a number of approaches explored the integration of paper and digital technology, there are still a wide range of open issues in the design of technologies that integrate digital and paper-based medical records. This paper studies the use of one such novel technology, called the Hybrid Patient Record (HyPR), that is designed to digitally augment a paper medical record. We report on two studies: a field study in which we describe the benefits and challenges of using a combination of electronic and paperbased medical records in a large university hospital and a deployment study in which we analyze how 8 clinicians used the HyPR in a medical simulation. Based on these empirical studies, this paper introduces and discusses the concept of collaborative affordances, which describes a set of properties of the medical record that foster collaborative collocated work.

“…Dhaval Vyas, Cristina M. Chisalita and Gerrit C. van der Veer propose a wider application of the concept of affordance, Affordance in Interaction (Vyas, Chisalita, & van der Veer, 2006). This expanded term advocates that affordance is not predefined properties and potentials but is created by the users' interaction with an artifact.…”

This article suggests applying several alternative perspectives and logics when working with spatial aesthetics in practice. The framework presented here-the Aesthetics Steps-is developed as a tool for reflection and dialogue in co-design processes with users concerning the role of aesthetics in knowledge and learning environments. By expanding the concept of aesthetics to include social meaning and social relations more discourses are created, which may further a more varied dialogue about the effects and purpose of aesthetics in this context. The framework consists of five steps comprising these possible discourses and logics. Through the steps, aesthetics becomes gradually more complex with an increased focus on the specific user group and its social and cultural contexts. The last step of the framework represents a relational aesthetic approach articulated by the art theorist Nicolas Bourriaud whose ideas about Relational Aesthetics are applied here to a spatial design context.

“…Complex affordances relates to Heidegger's phenomenology where context and affordances were seen as synonyms. Similar to the notion of complex affordances, Vyas et al (2006) propose an understanding of affordances where affordances are socially and culturally constructed and emerge in practices and activities. Seidel et al (2013) identify functional affordances required in environmental sustainability transformations contributing to a better understanding of IS enabled organisational change; they argue that functional affordances allows us to look at how individuals "interpret material properties of information systems (i.e.…”

This paper examines the affordances of Reddit, a digital media platform where Users share and discuss content. The aim of the study was to understand the affordances of Reddit, and how the affordances of Reddit through various features of the platform lead to outcomes, specifically those relating to political loyalty and the creation of political narratives. The study contributes an insight into the evolution and understanding of affordances as a result of examining the ways in which individuals who were previously members of another political group constructed narratives around switching their support to the Trump campaign in the 2016 US presidential elections. The study specifically focusses on an exclusive membership community called r/The_Donald. As a result of analysing posts on common themes using Qualitative Content Analysis (QCA), we conclude that the features enable membership of a community to be rewarded, switched or denied. As a result, this study has identified five affordances of Reddit, which include credibility, expressing oneself freely, echoing beliefs, creating membership and the metaaffordance 'Redpilling'. The outcomes of these affordances are that ingroups are created, support can be switched, extreme or hateful views are legitimised and a new brand of conservatism is given credibility. This in turn is concluded to have realised impacts outside of the virtual environment in this case on the self-reported behaviours of voters.
