In October 2014, we hosted a workshop on “Social Network Analysis in Educational Research”, where we engaged into discussions with colleagues from across Europe and provided an overview of what type of SNA research we conduct at the Learning Lab. With this post, we would like to provide a little update about our recent activities in this direction. We still employ SNA to analyze learning processes in formal and informal environments, which offers exciting insights in learning as a relational and structural activity.
Two papers on our research about "social capital in social media" and "collaborative tagging systems" have been accepted at the EARLI 2015 in Limassol, Cyprus. The first one, entitled "Tweeting Teachers – Does Social Capital play a Role in Twitter Conversations among Teachers?", has been written by Martin Rehm, Michael Kerres and Ad Notten (UNU-MERIT).
