In this paper, we explore the potential of the Affectibility concept (Hayashi & Baranauskas, 2011) in different scenarios throughout the use of low cost educational laptops, considered in the formal, informal and technical perspectives, as proposed by the Organizational Semiotics (Stamper, 1993; Stamper et al., 2000).
Within a socio-technical perspective and building upon less explored faces of usability, we have argued in (Hayashi & Baranauskas, 2011) that Affectibility should be taken into consideration in the context of educational technology.
