Abstract: In a context of strong competitiveness, E-learning is an innovative and emerging human resource development practice, now seen as a true future of vocational and continuing training. However, the need for continuing professional development is changing strongly and continues to growup. Traditional training systems and financial limitations do not meet all of the involving needs [1]. The main objective of this quantitative descriptive study is to determine the factors influencing the perception of E-learning and its usefulness in continuing education (CE) by midwives practicing at eleven hospital centers (CHP) in the Casablanca- Settat region. Using a questionnaire inspired by Venkatesh’s unified theory of acceptance and use of technology, Morris, Davis, & Davis (2003), from a sample of 84 midwives [2]. The data are analyzed by ANOVA II. The results showed that the intent to use and the adoption of E-learning within the hospital centers in the first place, are significantly related to the perceived usefulness, perception of ease of use, the conditions facilitators and social influence ranging from 0.3 to 0.9 (p <0.05), towards continuing education through E-learning. In conclusion, we hope, through this research, to show how the tools and the modes implemented in a distance-training program in a continuing education program could favor: the updating of knowledge and the improvement of skills of midwives.
