Activity theory (Vygotsky, Leont’ev, Luria, and others starting in the 1920s)
       proposed that people are socio-culturally embedded actors, with learning considered using three features – involving a subject (the learner), an object (the task or activity) and tool or mediating artifacts

Situated cognition (Brown, Collins, & Duguid, 1989; Greeno & Moore, 1993)
     all knowledge is situated in activity bound to social, cultural and physical contexts; knowledge and learning that requires thinking on the fly rather than the storage and retrieval of conceptual knowledge.

     through the process of sharing information and experiences with the group that the members learn from each other, and have an opportunity to develop themselves personally and professionally.
