Sonsoles Lopez-Pernas; Kamila Misiejuk; Rogers Kaliisa; Mohammed Saqr – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2025
Despite the growing use of large language models (LLMs) in educational contexts, there is no evidence on how these can be operationalized by students to generate custom datasets suitable for teaching and learning. Moreover, in the context of network science, little is known about whether LLMs can replicate real-life network properties. This study…

Liu, Sannyuya; Kang, Lingyun; Liu, Zhi; Zhao, Liang; Yang, Zongkai; Su, Zhu – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 2023
Understanding the relationship between interactive behaviours and discourse content has critical implications for instructors' design and facilitation of collaborative discussion activities in the online discussion forum (ODF). This paper adopts social network analysis (SNA) and epistemic network analysis (ENA) methods to jointly investigate the…

Liu, Sannyuya; Hu, Tianhui; Chai, Huanyou; Su, Zhu; Peng, Xian – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2022
Studying the networked nature of social and cognitive aspects of learner interactions is the key to understanding how successful collaborative learning occurs in asynchronous online discussion forums (AODFs). Guided by network science and multiplex network analysis, this study compared the differences of network structure and properties between…

Sun, Zhiru; Theussen, Amelie – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2023
Simulation games are widely used to teach negotiation skills in political science education. However, existing studies focus on the impact of simulation games on students' knowledge gains and affective changes and largely ignore skill assessment and development in the gaming environment. This study aimed to understand the process of student groups…

Zhan, Zehui; Mei, Hu; Liang, Ting; Huo, Liming; Bonk, Curtis; Hu, Qintai – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of material incentives on the knowledge-sharing networks and information lifecycles of a public online forum. The users' interaction data were collected from two similar sub-forums, and one of them provided material incentives for sharing knowledge. After collecting user behaviors for one natural…

Israel, Uriah; Koester, Benjamin P.; McKay, Timothy A. – Innovative Higher Education, 2020
Residential higher education brings thousands of students together for multiple years and offers them an array of shared intellectual experiences and a network of social interactions. Many of these intellectual and social connections are formed during courses. Students are connected to students through courses they take together, and courses are…

Xu, Yaqian; Du, Junlei – Canadian Journal of Learning and Technology, 2022
The network is a key concept which has been highly valued in connectivism. Research about the static characteristics of social networks in connectivist learning has been carried out in recent years, however, little knowledge exists regarding the principles of network evolution from a dynamic perspective. This article chose the first connectivist…

Nickles, George M.; Herbert, Bruce – Journal of Educational Research and Practice, 2022
Centerness is defined as a quality of multi-agent systems (groups) where agents share a common set of system goals and interact so the system will achieve those goals. A pair of measures is identified to capture the two dimensions of centerness: distance-weighted fragmentation and average goal centerness. As a case study, the measures of…

Wang, Yinying – Teachers College Record, 2021
Background/Context: Since 2013, opting out of state standardized tests has become a movement--the grassroots, organized efforts to refuse to take high-stakes state standardized tests. In particular, opt-out rates in the state of New York have been consistently fluctuating around 20%. Purpose/Objective: This study aims to examine the actor…

Rodway, Joelle; MacGregor, Stephen; Daly, Alan; Liou, Yi-Hwa; Yonezawa, Susan; Pollock, Mica – Journal of Professional Capital and Community, 2021
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is two-fold--(1) to offer a conceptual understanding of knowledge brokering from a sociometric point-of-view; and (2) to provide an empirical example of this conceptualization in an education context. Design/methodology/approach: We use social network theory and analysis tools to explore knowledge exchange…

Zendrato, Rotua; Chang, Ben; Cheng, Hercy – Asian Journal of Distance Education, 2023
Indonesian workers in Taiwan have been taking synchronous online courses to enhance their education for several years. Still, the most crucial part of a synchronous course, the interaction quality, in the past, in general, was highly disturbed by the workers' busy daily work and had room to improve. Therefore, improving online interaction quality…

Long, Yishi; Koehler, Adrie A. – Online Learning, 2021
Discussion is an essential component in case-based learning (CBL), as it offers students the opportunity to consider diverse perspectives, clarify confusion, and construct understanding. As a facilitator bears most of the responsibility for the overall success of CBL, understanding how facilitation strategies influence interactions during…
