Summary
Interviews with some students indicated that they felt that the time for face-to-face lessons was inadequate for the delivery . Students usually look for references from the internet, ask friends who already understand, or ask senior friends. It is necessary to have a discussion forum that can accommodate the questions of students who have difficulties related to the lecture material that is submitted to other students so that other students who have mastered can help provide the settlement. Constructivism learning theory states that students should be active in shaping their knowledge (Baharuddin & Wahyuni, 2008). The learning process is expected to encourage students to actively construct their knowledge, not just receiving information. One of the ways for active knowledge-building can be done by interacting with other students
