N2  - This study aims to identify usability problemsrelated to Virtual Math Teams (VMT) system, which is supporting onlinecollaborative activities of learning groups. For the usability assessment, twomajor evaluations have been conducted. In the first evaluation, students filledthe scale of framework for CSCL system Usability Evaluation includingdimensions - Effectiveness, Efficiency, Collaborativity, Error Tolerance,Universal Accessibility, Satisfaction. The second evaluation considers studentsanswers to open ended question related to system’s usability problems. Thesetwo approaches together released the usability problems related to VMT system.The problems identified are related to four major usability aspects: systemdesign, file upload, process tracking/automated notification, and errorprevention. This study also suggests which immediate actions should be taken toimprove usability of the system.
