Abstract [en]

This study investigates learning at an IT help desk in a multinational production company, a work practice that has not yet been given much research attention despite its importance in many areas of society. IT help desks heavily rely on different forms of documentation for sustaining their practice and for maintaining their communication and expertise as a team. In the study, we explore how the documentation in a case management software, which is a very salient tool by means of which IT help desks perform their work, is being reused to shape the quality of the performance of the team. Through video observations of locally arranged discussions about 46 cases we analyze, in detail, the material, discursive and interactional means by which daily documentation of work is re-visited for learning purposes.
