In this paper we apply Davis' Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) in a qualitative fashion to analyze and interpret the chronological sequence of events leading to the acceptance of the Groupware technology, BSCW, in a virtual learning team. The research question investigated is: What are the factors influencing the integration process of Groupware technology in virtual learning teams in part-time adult education? The data were gathered through an in-depth qualitative action research study of one virtual learning team doing problem-oriented project work within a master education program. We find that one important factor influencing the integration process of Groupware is: How the technology provides support for social perspective awareness. In the case investigated the technology BSCW supported social awareness, which influenced both the ease-of-use and the perceived-usefulness of the Groupware technology, thus being an important condition that influenced the positive outcome of the integration process.
