The learners\\\' activities like readings behaviors, navigation in hypertexts, building a concept map, or eye movements are analyzed to tap the processes underpinning learning from electronic devices and the linked cognitive load as well. In addition, the research of Franck Amadieu deals with ergonomics issues of Human Computers Interaction in the airplane piloting domain.
