Pola Komunikasi Pada Komunitas Daring Pelajar Pendidikan Jarak Jauh (StudiNetnografi Pada Komunitas Daring Mahasiswa Universitas Terbuka)
No full textPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pola komunikasi dari komunitas daring mahasiswa Pendidikan
Jarak Jauh (PJJ) atau distance learning. Walaupun PJJ membuka kesempatan bagi mahasiswa untuk
mendapatkan pengalaman belajar yang terbuka serta tidak terikat batasan waktu dan wilayah,
penggunaan moda pembelajaran ini berarti ada jarak antara sesama mahasiswa untuk saling berinteraksi
dengan satu sama lain. Teknologi komunikasi, seperti grup WhatsApp, menjadi opsi yang menggantikan
interaksi tatap muka antar mahasiswa dengan komunikasi virtual melalui komunitas daring. Penelitian ini
menggunakan konsep pola komunikasi kelompok menurut DeVito untuk memahami secara mendalam
interaksi sesama mahasiswa PJJ di komunitas daring. Penelitian ini menerapkan pendekatan kualitatif
konstruktivis dengan metode netnografi berupa data observasi interaksi dari lima grup WhatsApp
mahasiswa Universitas Terbuka serta wawancara dengan dua orang pendiri dan admin grup dari salah
satu WhatsApp tersebut. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa pola komunikasi kelompok yang timbul dari
interaksi dalam komunitas daring mahasiswa Universitas Terbuka di grup WhatsApp adalah pola
komunikasi roda (wheel pattern) dan bintang (star pattern). Pembentukan pola komunikasi di grup
WhatsApp ditentukan oleh topik pembicaraan grup. Pola komunikasi roda muncul pada percakapan
berbentuk tanya-jawab antara sesama anggota grup mengenai informasi teknis perkuliahan di Universitas
Terbuka, sementara itu pola komunikasi bintang cenderung timbul pada diskusi mengenai pengalaman
pribadi saat berkuliah dengan sesama anggota grup

Group Communication Patterns of Universitas Terbuka Students’ Online Community on WhatsApp
No full textThis qualitative constructivist research focuses on understanding the group communication patterns that emerged from interaction within distance learning student’s online community. Although distance learning has allowed students to pursue higher education without being bound by time and space constraints, this learning mode also separates students from one another. Communication technology, such as the instant messaging platform WhatsApp, becomes an option for students to replace in-person interaction with virtual interaction. This research uses DeVito’s concept of group communication patterns to analyze the communication between students as a member of an online community on WhatsApp group chat. Based on the online observation data and interviews, this research has found that two group communication patterns emerged from the online community interaction: wheel pattern communication and star pattern communication. The patterns themselves depend on the conversation topic between group members. Wheel pattern typically emerges in a Q&A type of conversation where one member would ask questions and receive responses from multiple group members. Meanwhile, star pattern communication is found only in conversations related to sharing personal experiences as distance learning students.

Caring and Sharing to Improve Students’ Well-Being in Distance Learning
No full textStudents’ well-being has become a recent concern in education. Many related literatures mentioned that well-being is one of the significant factors in determining students’ success. However, many distance education students experience loneliness and alienation because of lacking social presence and social connectedness. Those problems resulted in a low level of well-being. To deal with the problem, the department carries out Caring and Sharing regularly. The program includes an e-lecture, webinar, greeting from the department, and alumni’s story. The present research aims to explore the students’ perception of Caring and Sharing in improving well-being. To achieve the purpose of the study, a narrative inquiry is employed. Three students from English Literature Department who joined Caring and Sharing were interviewed to know their perception and experience in the program. The finding shows that the students have positive reactions regarding Caring and Sharing and they agree that the program helps improve their well-being.

Factors Influencing The Success of The Transformation from Face-To-Face Tutorial Mode to Web Tutorial During The Covid-19 Pandemic: A Managerial Approach
No full textThe Covid-19 pandemic that started in March 2019 was the biggest disruption of this century.
All organizations make adjustments to their systems to suit the pandemic situation, including
the Open University (UT). This transformation is not easy because it must be done quickly and
on a large scale. Web tutorials are web-based online tutorials. The Open University is a university
with a long-distance mode in Indonesia that has a reach throughout Indonesia and 52 cities
in the world. The current number of UT students is 347,000 students. Internet penetration in
Indonesia is still not good. There are still many areas that have not been reached by the internet.
Another factor is the competence to use the internet and the learning management system is not
sufficient. The process of transformation through innovation is not a simple thing. Successful
educational innovation and transformation must be based on sustainability, scope, and scale
(Carolan et al., 2020). During the COVID-19 pandemic, the transformation to online learning
is not easy. The finding of Morales, et.al (2021) states that the various actors in the learning
processes (students, professors, universities) encountered several barriers in adapting to this
new setting. This study investigates the factors that influence the transformation of face-to-face
tutorials into web-based tutorials. This research is qualitative research with a phenomenological
approach. This study investigated 18 informants who worked at UT headquarters and some
regional offices. The speakers are unit leaders and employees related to the implementation of
web tutorials. Interviews were conducted face-to-face and using the media. The results of the
interviews were processed using the NVivo application. The results of data processing show
that there are 5 (five) factors that cause the transformation from face-to-face tutorials to web
tutorials to take place effectively. The five factors are academic, IT risk, transformation design,
supporting factors, and policy risk. These findings indicate that the transformation of face-to-
face tutorials into web tutorials in times of disruption requires change in design, consideration
of changing risks including informational technology (IT), risks, meeting supporting factors,
and taking policy risks into account. The five components of the model can be composed of
strategic factors, namely policy, then the main component, namely academic, and supporting
components which include supporting factors, IT, and risk management. To obtain an effective
model, these five components need to be integrated into a balanced and sequential design. This
model is compiled from the information submitted by the informants. This model still requires
field testing and refinement. Further research is needed to test the model of the transformation
of face-to-face tutorials into web tutorials

OPTIMIZATION OF SOCIAL MEDIA AS AN EFFORT TO DESTINATION BRANDING TIDUNG ISLAND, KEPULAUAN SERIBU
No full textAbstrak: Pulau Tidung merupakan salah satu destinasi wisata yang berpotensi menjadi primadona bagi wisatawan dalam dan luar negeri. Panorama alam yang mengagumkan membuka potensi sebagai salah satu destinasi utama di Indonesia dan proyeksinya dapat memberikan keuntungan bagi pemerintah dan juga masyarakat sekitar. Seharusnya potensi alam yang ada perlu disosialisasikan kepada calon wisatawan potensial. Dalam hal ini, perlu upaya yang menyeluruh dari semua pihak, khususnya pemerintah daerah dan aparatur negara yang ada di Pulau Tidung, Kepulauan Seribu. Seluruh petugas atau pegawai kelurahan perlu menjadi contoh dan pelopor dalam pemanfaatan media sosial sebagai upaya destination branding Pulau Tidung, Kepulauan Seribu. Ironinya, di Pulau Tidung sendiri, baik dari kelurahan maupun masyarakatnya tidak mengoptimalisasikan berbagai media promosi seperti media sosial dalam rangka mempublikasikan seluas-luasnya tentang keindahan Pulau Tidung. Padahal Pulau Tidung sendiri dianggap oleh para wisatawan sebagai Pulau Maladewa kedua di Indonesia bagi para wisatawan yang pernah datang ke Pulau tersebut. Oleh karena itu, adanya kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat yang berfokus pada pelatihan penggunaan media sosial yaitu Instagram sebagai media promosi utama bertujuan untuk meningkatkan destination branding Pulau Tidung, Kepulauan Seribu. Harapan kedepannya wisata Pulau Tidung dapat mengalami peningkatan wisatawan dan menjadikan Pulau Tidung sebagai salah satu pusat destinasi favorit wisatawan dalam negeri dan mancanegara.Abstract: Tidung Island is one of the tourist destinations that have the potential to become a prima donna for domestic and foreign tourists. The stunning natural panorama opens up the potential as one of the main destinations in Indonesia and its projections can provide benefits for the government and the surrounding community. Supposedly the potential of nature needs to be socialized to potential tourists. In this case, it needs a thorough effort from all parties, especially the local government and state apparatus in Tidung Island, Kepulauan Seribu. All officers or village employees need to be an example and pioneer in the use of social media as an effort to destination branding Tidung Island, Thousand Islands. Ironically, in Tidung Island itself, both the village and the community do not optimize various promotional media such as social media to publish as widely as possible about the beauty of Tidung Island. Tidung Island itself is considered by tourists as the second Maldives Island in Indonesia for tourists who have come to the island. Therefore, the existence of community service activities that focus on training the use of social media, namely Instagram as the main promotional media aims to improve the destination branding of Tidung Island, Thousand Islands. Hopefully, in the future, Tidung Island tourism can experience an increase in tourists and make Tidung Island one of the favorite destinations of domestic and foreign tourists
