This paper examines a process of ICT-based educational innovation in a primary school in Belgium. The experience represents a revealing example of an evolutionary development of e-learning in a European context. The paper addresses questions such as: How is e-learning taking shape in a concrete school environment? What are the benefits? and, more generally, What is the nature of the factors and the processes involved in making e-learning experiences successful? The paper deals with these questions through a combination of conceptual instruments (‘sociotechnical constituencies’ and the ‘diamond of alignment’) and empirical analysis.
