Because the purposes of such communities and the patterns of activity that might further them are diverse, a wider range of methods may be needed than in formal educational settings. This paper describes the proposed learning analytics approach of the U. S. Department of Education's Connected Educatorsproject, and presents preliminary applications of social network analysis to the National Science Teachers Association Learning Center as an illustration.","PeriodicalId":311750,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Learning Analytics and Knowledge","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123640304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data collected on the frequency of access and the duration of sessions is analysed to establish several categories of learners, which depict the differences among the cohort in terms of participation in social learning. A British business school course for second year undergraduates was studied over two years (i.e. two cohorts) and the results were combined to derive categories of learner types. We conclude that that academic attainment does not appear to be related to student access behaviour necessarily.","PeriodicalId":311750,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Learning Analytics and Knowledge","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123742560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
