Abstract
Purpose of this study is to see what kind of interaction occurs between the students to students and how the learning process is taking place when having collaborative learning in virtual environment. For this study, two elements of message analysis were studied; social and cognitive presences by 6 randomly selected groups of college students participated in the VEA (Virtual English Adventure) program. Result of this study showed social presence was slightly stronger than the cognitive presence. In social presence interaction, open communication element showed as the highest interaction followed by emotional expression and group cohesion. In cognitive presence, the triggering event category showed as the highest interaction compare to the exploration, Integration, and resolution elements. These results imply that VEA needs to consider redesigning lessons plan and also to educate students prior to virtual setting before experiencing VEA.
