Abstract: Teachers' well-being may be negatively impacted by the widespread adoption of educational technologies. The stress linked with teachers' use of digital technologies is an emerging area of research. To promote teachers' well- being through the design of CSCL tools, it is crucial to gain a deeper understanding of the stressful moments experienced by teachers when orchestrating collaborative learning activities facilitated by technology. Following a mixed method approach, this paper sheds light on the triggers of teachers’ perceived stressful moments when using a CSCL tool in F2F and online classes. In the scenarios studied, teachers report feeling less stressful moments during online sessions. However, more stress-related triggers and orchestrated actions happened during F2F sessions. It was found that technological difficulties, students’ behavior, and time constraints all contributed to the highlighted stressful moments. In addition, the dashboard interventions were found more related to the stressful moments than other actions such as teacher-class interaction. This work provides an initial understanding of what makes teachers stressed when orchestrating CSCL activities from their perceptions. Collecting objective data about stress and orchestration load is needed to assert the findings of this work.
