Social Network Analysis Used for Modelling Collaboration in Distance Learning Groups

Abstract: Abstract. We describe a situation of distance learning based on collaborative production occurring within groups over a significant time span. For such a situation, we suggest giving priority to monitoring and not to guiding systems. We also argue that we need models which are easily computable in order to deal with the heterogeneous and the large scale amount of data related to interactions, i.e. models relying on theoretical assumptions which characterise the structures of groups and of interactions.

“…Social network analysis (SNA) has been used in various areas, including computer-supported collaborative learning (Aviv, Erlich, Ravid, & Geva, 2003;de Laat, Lally, Lipponen, & Simons, 2007;Harrer, Malzahn, Zeini, & Hoppe, 2007;Reffay & Chanier, 2002). The basic approach relies on representing communication events as links between the actors in the network.…”

“…We investigate at the moment the analysis social networks which can be usefully applied in DL to build parameters related to the cohesion of the group or the centrality of a given member of the group [18]. Up to now, we exhibited the objectives of SIGFAD.…”

“…SNA developed out of an attempt to describe and interpret findings of a major qualitative study (Bott, quoted in Savage 2005) and has since become a leading social science method (Savage 2005, p. 6). It has been used to describe interaction in asynchronous CMC (computer mediated communication) in language learning contexts (Reffay & Chanier 2002;. In its full form, SNA relies heavily on statistical and computer supported analysis.…”

“…The work for this paper follows on from the findings of two earlier studies, looking at larger chunks of the tutorials, each using a different method of analysis: Social Network analysis and analysis of discourse using QSR . Social Network Analysis was chosen for its compatibility with online learning settings (Reffay & Chanier, 2002) and QSR analysis for the information it can provide on content of verbal interactions and for the possibility of analysing large sets of data coherently.…”
