This study analyzes the practices of a group of high school science teachers in the development of a training experience using the Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) approach. The pedagogical model, the collaboratively used tools and the development of group dynamics are all described. The analysis is carried out using categories based on the social infrastructure concept, which aid in the identification of some of the required skills as well as problems that arose during the teachers' synchronous and asynchronous interactions.

Keywords : CSCL; teacher-training; social infrastructure; collaborative tools; asynchronous and synchronous interactions.
