Ringkasan	Remote Participant Observation is a qualitative data collection method in which the researcher joins and participates in an online or digitally mediated social setting — such as a video-based community, online forum, virtual world, or remote work environment — to observe and record social interactions, practices, and meanings as they occur naturally, without requiring physical co-presence.	Digital ethnography is a qualitative research method that adapts traditional ethnographic fieldwork to online and digitally mediated settings. Drawing on sustained participant observation, document collection, and sometimes interviews, the researcher immerses themselves in one or more digital communities — social media platforms, forums, gaming spaces, or messaging groups — to understand how culture, identity, and social practice are constructed through digital interaction. The approach recognises that online spaces are not merely reflections of offline life but distinctive sites of cultural production in their own right.
