However, based on preliminary study conducted with some students, they found out that it is difficult for them to acquire relevant information to their studies. Furthermore, usability testing has not been conducted since the introduction of new CeL in September 2013. Therefore, this project aims to identify the usability problems of CeL and provide recommendations to improve the usability of CeL. This project specifically focuses on TARUC Johor Branch Campus. Usability testing was conducted on five (5) participants where they had been interviewed and performed series of tasks to identify the usability problem of CeL. The results show that interface design of CeL is dull and unattractive. Certain materials is not accessible and important information not been included in the e learning system. The outcome of this project would assist the Communication and Information Technology Centre (CITC) to identify usability problems that exist and provide a rcommendation for them to improve the CeL. For future project, the usability testing could be extended to other branch campuses as well.
