In this paper, we present a study into the learning experience as users learn to use interactive artifacts. This learning experience both evolves over the entire time that a user uses an artifact and is personally meaningful for its users. It is defined by the intentional relations that users have with artifacts as well as how users negotiate their use. In this paper, we summarize this study and early findings into these factors to understand the “learning-in-use” of an interactive artifact. This paper contributes to our understanding of how we learn to use interactive artifacts and how users’ relationships with artifacts evolve over time.
