Motivation -- We aim to make visible, and understand, students' appropriation of digital course material. Research approach -- Artefact use was traced and ethnographic interviews conducted throughout one lecture period. Activity Theory guided the analysis. Findings/Design -- The study shows the diverse use of digital artefacts as part of a multiple mediation of students' activities at different levels. Possible uses are described that reveal how students develop agency. Research limitations/Implications -- Details of artefact use within lectures were not observed directly. The number of participants is small and limited to one specific university. A descriptive analysis is provided. Originality/Value -- Few studies have included a broader picture of students' activities in their analysis of digital artefact use in higher education. Take away message -- There is no perfect course (material) for everyone. Students' material use has to be understood in the context of their network of activities.
