Abstract
How to infer the digital media literacy competences of office workers related to distant teamwork from the observation of collaborative practices? This paper pre-sents a qualitative method that combines deductive and inductive approaches to analyze interviews and observations carried out in ten organizations. From a de-ductive standpoint, our analysis is anchored in a review of the literature in Com-puter-Supported Cooperative Work. From an inductive standpoint, our analyses use principles from phenomenography and grounded theory to abstract a theoreti-cal understanding of the studied experiences. The combination of these approach-es allows us to examine the way workers experience distant teamwork activities and to consider how their competences reside in their ability to frame the work situations they encounter, and to develop responses accordingly.
