In this work we argue in favor of an integrative design approach supporting the idea that teachers and learners in a technology enhanced learning environment should be able to adapt the affordances of the representations in order to achieve an optimum coupling of the interface to the socio-cognitive learning needs in the specific context. An adaptable interface can appear as a reactive, coactive, proactive or enactive interface depending on the specific learning demands. Such an interface can also function as a metacognitive tool, enhancing users' understanding of the different modes of the instructional process depending on the varied socio-cognitive contextual factors. We present our very first theoretical considerations pertaining to such an integrative design framework and show how they can be applied in the algorithm visualization domain.
