Liu, Chunhong; Zhang, Haoyang; Zhang, Jieyu; Zhang, Zhengling; Yuan, Peiyan – International Journal of Information and Communication Technology Education, 2023
Current learning platforms generally have problems such as fragmented knowledge, redundant information, and chaotic learning routes, which cannot meet learners' autonomous learning requirements. This paper designs a learning path recommendation system based on knowledge graphs by using the characteristics of knowledge graphs to structurally…

Holtz, Peter; Kimmerle, Joachim; Cress, Ulrike – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2018
The advent of the social web brought with it challenges and opportunities for research on learning and knowledge construction. Using the online-encyclopedia Wikipedia as an example, we discuss several methods that can be applied to analyze the dynamic nature of knowledge-related processes in mass collaboration environments. These methods can help…

Zhang, Jia-Hua; Zhang, Ye-Xing; Zou, Qin; Huang, Sen – Educational Technology & Society, 2018
The practice and application of education data mining and learning analytics has become the focus of educational researchers. However, it is still a difficult task to explore the law of group learning and the characteristics of individual learning. In this study, the online learning logs of 1,088 students from 22 classes were analyzed from the…

Jo, Yohan; Tomar, Gaurav; Ferschke, Oliver; Rosé, Carolyn P.; Gaševic, Dragan – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2016
An important research problem for Educational Data Mining is to expedite the cycle of data leading to the analysis of student learning processes and the improvement of support for those processes. For this goal in the context of social interaction in learning, we propose a three-part pipeline that includes data infrastructure, learning process…

Kim, Hyewon; Lee, MiYoung; Kim, Minjeong – Educational Technology & Society, 2014
The purpose of this paper was to investigate the effects of mobile instant messaging on collaborative learning processes and outcomes. The collaborative processes were measured in terms of different types of interactions. We measured the outcomes of the collaborations through both the students' taskwork and their teamwork. The collaborative…

Tirado, Ramón; Hernando, Ángel; Aguaded, José Ignacio – Interactive Learning Environments, 2015
Interactive relationships in online learning communities can influence the process and quality of knowledge building. The aim of this study is to empirically investigate the relationships between network structures and social knowledge building in an asynchronous writing environment through discussion forums in a learning management system. The…

Coll, Cesar; Engel, Anna; Bustos, Alfonso – European Journal of Education, 2009
The rapid spread of learning networks based on asynchronous written communication--Asynchronous Learning Networks (ALNs)--makes it crucial to assess the possibilities offered by these new environments to facilitate and promote learning processes and learning outcomes. Our interest in this area is specifically directed towards the study of…

Jones, C. R.; Ferreday, D.; Hodgson, V. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2008
In this paper, we explore the idea of weak ties in networked learning. We go back to the original conception of the strength of weak ties and relate this to Bakhtin and a dialogic understanding of networked learning. These theoretical ideas are applied to the examination of two networked settings in which educational leaders exchange ideas and…

Enriquez, J. G. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2008
This article explores the social network of learning beyond a functional understanding of social relations. It describes and interprets the realities of networked learning within a particular postgraduate course in an English university setting. It draws attention to some of the limitations of the increasing interest in the use of social network…

de Laat, Maarten; Lally, Vic; Lipponen, Lasse; Simons, Robert-Jan – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2007
The focus of this study is to explore the advances that Social Network Analysis (SNA) can bring, in combination with other methods, when studying Networked Learning/Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (NL/CSCL). We present a general overview of how SNA is applied in NL/CSCL research; we then go on to illustrate how this research method can…
