Evaluating satisfaction regarding interaction with a collaborative problem posing and solving learning system

A collaborative problem posing and solving (CPPS) learning system has been developed to support collaborative problems solving with computer-supported cooperation script in statistics learning. A preliminary study has been conducted to evaluate satisfaction of undergraduate students enrolling in an Educational Statistics course regarding interaction with the collaborative problem posing and solving learning system and understand their intention to use. Results taken from questionnaires and open-ended questions revealed that the participants were satisfied with the CPPS and high intention to use the CPPS in the future.
