Popis: This paper explores the adoption of a group-based Enterprise Social Media (ESM) tool (i.e., Microsoft Teams) in the context of a mid-sized undergraduate course in Information and Technology Management (ITM), thereby providing insights into the use and design of tools for group-based learning settings. The study used a mixed-methods approach—interviews, surveys, and server-side (i.e., objective) data—to investigate the effects of three core ESM affordances (i.e., editability, persistence, and visibility) on students’ perceptions of ESM functionality and efficiency, and in turn, on ESM-enabled perceived team productivity as well as the students’ level of system usage. Through leveraging a combination of qualitative and quantitative (both unobtrusive and self-reported) data, this paper aims to provide insights into the use of ESMs in group-based classrooms which is a theme of great importance given the need for high-quality online education experiences, especially during the current pandemic.
