The evaluation of classroom experiences that promote collaborative and active learning is very important in computer supported collaborative learning, CSCL. The purpose of this paper is to assess the perception of students of the use of collaborative learning tools. We combine the use of qualitative and quantitative methods and data in an educational setting that have both physical and computer-supported collaboration in a business class environment. In this paper we did an evaluation in three business courses on corporate strategy that took place throughout three academic terms. The study used a questionnaire with both open and closed questions and the statistics that were supplied by BSCW basic support for cooperative work platform. The results from our analysis allow us to reflect and draw conclusions on the changes of attitudes towards collaboration and learning in a mixed use setting of both physical and on line environments and the need for further studies of this experience.
