| dc.description.abstract | This study aimed to report how students interact on online discussion boards in the Indonesian
context. The data were collected through the class observational method. This study was
conducted through the discussion that has been done on Canvas. The most prominent act is
cognitive presence from students during discussion. The lecturer only gave the assignment
instructions of the online discussion board. Instead of discussing with friends, the students
mostly only answer questions given by the lecturer. In consequence, the discussion process
does not run smoothly, students do the discussion process only to complete the tasks given by
the lecturer. In addition, the lecturer should be joining the discussion on an online discussion
board. The presence of lecturers in an online discussion board affects interactions between
students on an online discussion board. | en_US |
