But there is a need to investigate the impact of learning environment, infrastructure, and process features on the CSCL participants. This study aimed to present positive and negative aspects of the process of CSCL by reporting the views of preservice teachers who participated to the case-based CSCL. Qualitative research method was used in this study. The data were obtained from a group of 157 preservice teachers who enrolled in the Department of Computer and Instructional Technologies Education at four public universities in Turkey.
