■ RÉSUMÉ • Alors qu'Internet a progressivement été intégré dans nos modes de vie et de travail, cet article interroge les changements induits par les évolutions technologiques dans l'activité des enseignants en formation à distance (FAD). Reposant sur des entretiens menés auprès de professeurs ayant une longue expérience dans le domaine, il met en relief que les évolutions technologiques ont permis de faciliter la production des cours et de resserrer l'encadrement des étudiants mais n'ont pas conditionné les modèles pédagogiques, ces derniers ayant toujours été placés en amont des choix technologiques. De plus, il permet de constater qu'indépendamment des technologies, les particularités de cette activité concernant la division des tâches demeurent mais n'apparaissent pas tant sous l'angle d'une privation de certains pans de la tâche professorale que sous celui d'une collaboration servant l'idéologie de la FAD, à savoir assurer l'accessibilité et la qualité de la formation.■ MOTS-CLÉS • enseignement à distance, FAD, TIC, accessibilité.
■ ABSTRACT • While Internet permeates our work and life patterns, this research addresses the changes introduced via technological developments on the activities of professors who teach using Distance Education tools
While the generation currently in basic training has grown up in an environment that is rich in information and communication technologies, since the beginning of this century, the French national education system has been promoting the development of skills in the use of ICTs and the creation of digital institutional spaces. However, these spaces sometimes appear incomplete or less attractive than the commercial platforms or social networks, and certain teaching activities tend to use these latter tools, with which the students are a priori more familiar. To what extent would these students be more likely to prefer and use one type of environment or the other for their studies? In order to advance some avenues of thought, we will analyse the responses provided by nearly 1,000 students registered at the Université de Picardie between 2012 and 2014. We will examine their tastes and habits in using the social media and the university's digital work environment in order to seek to better understand their technology preferences and practices in connection with recreational and learning activities.
