Résumé En

E-learning tools have proliferated and are being used today in a way which their backers could hardly have imagined. Moodle, the free software e-learning platform, has been available at the College of Technology in Toulouse since 2005. Our work aims at questioning the appropriation of this tool by its users, that is the teachers and the students. Two years after its implementation, our study shows that, although students appreciate the platform and despite its undeniable technical features, many teachers still make no use of it. How can this phenomenon be explained? Our hypothesis : the modes of appropriation and the uses of technical objects depend, amongst other things, on the representation, interaction and power-play between the people involved.
