Assessing the Adoption of Virtual Learning Environments in Primary Schools: An Activity Oriented Study of Teacher's Acceptance

This article studies the conditions of use of a VLE (Virtual Learning Environment) by primary school teachers. It first presents a triangulated model to explore Virtual Learning Environments' adoption in primary schools. The theoretical models cover three approaches: the social acceptance, the practical acceptance and the situated acceptance. The situated acceptance of teachers is studied according to the model by using activity theory and qualitative methods (individual and collective interviews). Our study describes how teachers (8 participants) perceived the role of the VLE in the evolution of their working practices (maintaining, transforming or restricting existent practices), in their relationship with parents and in the follow-up of their students.

Démarche d'évaluation de l'usage et des répercussions psychosociales d'un environnement STIC sur une population de personnes âgées en résidence médicalisée

The MNESIS Project aims to see whether the use of computerized environment by elderly people in medicalized residences stimulates their cognitive capacities and contributes to a better integration, recognition or acceptance within their social environment (friends, family, medical staff). In this paper we present the protocol of evaluation that is defined to check this assumption. This protocol is between users' centred traditional protocols (built on investigations and indirect observation) and studies of Web Usage Mining (where knowledge databases about the uses are built from traces of use). It allows collecting direct and indirect information on a large scale and over long periods.

Fracture numérique chez les seniors du 4eme age. Observation d'une acculturation technique

Very old people accumulate the "handicaps": social, physical, psychological or cognitive. Various research thus developed to determine there waiting and needs and also to see the benefit possibly produced by technologies (called ?gerontechnology?) on their living conditions. The object of this article is to present the numerical service offer to very old perople and to see how it takes part in a social justice according to the definition of Rawls (principle of equal freedom, principle of equal opportunity in the access). The adoption, the use and the benefit of technology are analyzed in a theoretical way through a state of the art and in an experimental way through a qualitative and quantitative investigation carried out with a population of very old people. We propose to identify dynamic technological acceptance of old people according to the TAM'S (Technology Acceptance Model) of Davis adapted by (Hamner and Qazi, 2008).
