Dear XMCA members

While I was reading a chapter on activity theory and CSCW(computer
mediated collaborate work), I found a word, praxis. The problem is that
I don't know the meaning. A English dictionary says Praxis is practice.
However, it's not enough for me to understand the word.
what is the concept of praxis? is it different from activity?
