Evidences collection Bio-Informatics: Propedeutic class 28/09, Sequence class 07/10 ERT production of educational formats: FEW CONSIDERATIONS • The evidences collection allowed us to better explore different experiences within the same learning context (training) • The representation of evidences is connected with the organizational context and it often changes from a case study to another • The theoretical approach seems quite difficult to be represented like an evidence (teacher interviews and observation) but it is still be likely (but not easily) desumed by interviews and activity observation • social orchestation evidences are better represented together with action pattern. In fact social orchestration evidences can be easilly understood if represented whithin their own context
