Description

The Use of Social Network Analysis in E-Learning Assessment Social Network Analysis (SNA) is a method often used to study social interactions and collaborative learning of online groups. Examples of studies that relied on SNA to evaluate individual learning based on the position of individuals in a network and group cohesion based on general properties of a network include Cho, Gay, Davidson, and Ingraffea (2007), Reyes and Tchounikine (2005), and Willging (2005). From the social network perspective, individual behavior is defined by others. To understand individual behavior, we need to "describe patterns of relationships between actors, analyze the structure of these patterns, and seek to uncover their effect on individual behavior" (Nurmela, Lehtinen, & Palonen, 1999, p. 434). In any social network, there are nodes, which represent group members, and edges (often referred to as ties), which connect people by means of various types of relations. The strength of the relations is usually conveyed by a weight assigned to each tie.
