Thank you for sharing your information during tonight's Elluminate session. It's fascinating! And, thanks to this session, I finally joined Classroom 2.0.

Hi,<br />
<br />
I am also a doctoral student working on the potential of social networking sites for learning, particularly in higher education environment. I am excited to see that there are other doc students like me who are giving full dedication to find out the promises of the networking sites for teaching and learning. I am very interested on hearing particularly about your research questions...<br />
<br />
Hope to connect to you on Thursday.<br />

Very interesting stuff! I am currently researching the relationship between participation in online communities of practice and innovative teaching practices so I am very curious to know what you guys come up with.<br />

One of the big topics during the online discussion was, what exactly are the research questions? This is the working version of our questions and our plan for attacking them. It's not terribly well edited and there's a fair bit of jargon, but it's what you asked for. ;)<br />
<br />
<b>Research questions</b><br />
<br />
<i>What are teachers/educators getting out of these networks?</i><br />
<br />
* What content is flowing on the network?<br />
o Analysis technique: LDA can tag the content<br />
+ Tools: Mallet?<br />
+ Report:<br />

<br />
<b>Research questions</b><br />
<br />
<i>What are teachers/educators getting out of these networks?</i><br />
<br />
* What content is flowing on the network?<br />
o Analysis technique: LDA can tag the content<br />
+ Tools: Mallet?<br />
+ Report:<br />
# content clusters<br />
# proportion of posts in each cluster<br />
# proportion of *people* posting in each cluster<br />
# are people posting in multiple clusters?<br />
+ Use later:<br />
# Do the large connected pieces of the network correspond with topic clusters? (or with geography?)<br />
<br />
* What questions are participants asking? Are the questions being answered?<br />
o Analysis technique: tag conversational function - some machine learning algorithm<br />
+ Tools: (Minorthird?) (DocuScope?)<br />
+ Report:<br />
# proportion of initial posts that are questions<br />
# proportion of questions that receive replies<br />
+ Use later:<br />
# Do the askers also answer questions, or are the askers & answerers fairly distinct groups?<br />
<br />
* Do they come back?<br />
o What proportion of nodes are disconnected?<br />
+ looks to be around 2000 members that have generated no content.<br />
+ need to look at time-stamp for last login to figure out who's left & who's a lurker<br />
o How many posts made? (blogs vs. forums)<br />
o How many posts received?<br />
o How many different people have responded to their posts?<br />
o indegree/outdegree distribution<br />
<br />
* Where do the educators come from?<br />
o Report: Geographical map<br />
o Use later:<br />
+ Do the large connected pieces of the network correspond with topic clusters? (or with geography?)<br />
<br />
* What proportion of the forum participants are teachers?<br />
o Analysis technique: Requires some sort of clustering/tagging of "school/work affiliation"<br />
+ A jaunt through the site indicates a surprising number of members may be in university communities<br />
o Use later:<br />
+ How does teacher use of site differ from other groups?<br />
+ Are teachers answering each others questions; or are teachers asking, and receiving replies from university people?<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>How does that work? How do the network structure, network dynamics, and discussion content factor in?</i><br />
<br />
* What do the interactions look like?<br />
o Motif typing?<br />
o Correlation between indegree & outdegree.<br />
<br />
* Do the large connected pieces of the network correspond with topic clusters? (or with geography?)<br />
o Graphs:<br />
+ network graphic with nodes color coded by topic<br />
+ network graphic with nodes color coded by continent and/or region of the US (e.g., Midwest)<br />
+ geographic placement with edges for co-discussion (edited for privacy issues)<br />
<br />
* How does the implicit network of replies compare to the explicit "friends" network?<br />
o The explicit "friends" network might be the easiest piece of data to get quickly.<br />
+ more or fewer disconnected nodes in the explicit network?<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>Can we identify a point at which the network became mature/self-sustaining?</i><br />
* Model the growth of the network<br />
o Steve Fienberg's longitudinal model
