Engeström's Recent Work - PhD Wiki. Ammendments in red Activity Theory Evolution Engeström (1996) describes a generational evolution of activity theory.
Whilst the first generation built on Vygotsky’s notion of mediated action, and the second generation built on Leont’ev’s notion of activity system, the third generation builds on the idea of multiple interacting activity systems focused on a partially shared object. Third generation activity theory expands the unit of analysis, to synthesise two seemingly incompatible directions. One, moving up and outward, engages multiple interconnected activity systems with their partially shared and often fragmented objects (activity systems, organizations and history). Engeström’s (1987) model of an activity system has become the principal third generation model for analysing individuals and groups. Reijo Miettinen - Selected List of Publications.

In examining this problem the first point we have to consider is the question of the significance of the category of activity in any interpretation of how human consciousness is determined.
There are two approaches to this major question. The_Finnish_proposal.pdf (Objet application/pdf) CRADLE - Center for Research on Activity, Development, and Learning - University of Helsinki - Faculty of Behavioural Sciences. Interview with Yrjö Engeström, compiled by Jean Louis Magakian.

Leontev 1978 Activity, Consciousness, and Personality “In reality the philosophic discovery of Marx consists not in identifying practice with cognition but in recognizing that cognition does not exist outside the life process that in its very nature is a material, practical process. The reflection of reality arises and develops in the process of the development of real ties of cognitive people with the human world surrounding them; it is defined by these ties and, in its turn, has an effect on their development. Human consciousness thus ceases to be an "intrinsic quality of the human spirit" with no history or intractability to causal analysis. University of Helsinki - Center for Activity Theory and Developmental Work Research. Human activity is a complex evolutionary achievement.
In a simplified fashion, its emergence may be depicted in three major steps. University of Helsinki - Center for Activity Theory and Developmental Work Research. In his Theses on Feuerbach, Karl Marx (1845) pointedly characterized the two pitfalls of social theory: "The chief defect of all previous materialism ... is that the thing, reality, sensuousness, is conceived only in the form of the object or of contemplation, but not as sensuous human activity, practice, not subjectively.
" And on the other hand: "Hence in opposition to materialism the active side was developed abstractly by idealism, which of course does not know real sensuous activity as such. " The cultural-historical theory of activity was initiated a group of revolutionary Russian psychologists in the 1920s and 1930s, determined to turn the spirit of the Feuerbach theses into a new approach to understanding and transforming human life.

Engestrom – Enriching the Theory of Expansive Learning… (2007) « Disruptive Technology Enhanced Learning.
Engestrom (2007) posits a form of learning without the presence of an expert, the kind of learning where the answer is not already known (he uses the term ‘knotworking’).
Some of the key characteristics of this form of learning are that it is horizontal (without a predetermined hierarchy of authority and influence) and interested in ‘boundary crossing’ (p. 24); learning need not reaffirm something already known but, instead, learning results in the creation of new knowledge. Another feature of Engestrom’s approach is that tools (a term broadly defined, and incorporating technology) do not need an instruction manual but, instead, usage should be discovered by the user. He employs the hammer as an example: ‘A hammer is typically used as a recognition device: It helps you to recognize what may be hammered, such as nails.
But a hammer may also serve as a symbol of workers’ power….
