Abstract :
Online discussion has proven to be a good platform for students to gain the ability to communicate, inspire, analyze, and slot in into social interaction indirectly. This study aimed to examine the relationship of posting components against level of thinking and solution to the issue. The online discussion was conducted over a month and 85 students registered for the subject were the respondents for this study. This study found out that length of the message has positive relationship with the level of thinking and solution to the problem but timeliness and expression has negative relationship with the level of thinking and solution to the problem.
