The analysis using Social Network Analysis (SNA) is focusing more on the number or the frequency of social interactions based on adjacency matrix. This method cannot be used to observe the semantic relationship among e-Learning components. Therefore, this paper aims to propose a new paradigm of Social Network Analysis (SNA) using ontology structure of Moodle e-Learning. By considering the relationship of ontology, we can understand the meaning of semantic relationship more deeply. The ontology of Moodle e-learning system for social network analysis will become great advantage to make measurement not only based on the matrix or number of interactions but also based on the semantic meaning of the relationships among users.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
