Social network analysis (SNA)
Considers relations and mutual effects of actors within groups and organisations
– Based on empirical data– Different levels of analysis (individual, sub-group,
community) Formal methods, mainly based on graph theory and
graph algorithms Fundamentals were presented as „Sociometry“
(Moreno, 1951)– Sociogram– Sociomatrix
4
Social network analysisSocial network
Set of actors (a person, a department, a company) and relationships among them
Examples: – “is a friend of”– “is a neighbor of”– “distributes goods to”– “is a member of”
5
Social Network AnalysisGraphical representation - Sociograms
6
Social network analysis Types of networks
Mode– One-mode networks: one set of actors– Two-mode networks: two sets of actors.
Affiliation networks: relationships between actors and activities
Complete vs. egocentric networks
7
Social Network Analysis Application areas to computer science
Human oriented disciplines– Computer supported collaborative learning (CSCL)– Computer supported cooperative work (CSCW)
Network Analysis– Identification of bottlenecks in computer networks– Fault-tolerance and –handling in distributed systems
Knowledge Structures– Growing interest in analysis of dynamic knowledge
structures, such as Wikipedia
8
Social network analysis Some indicators
Centrality of actors– Degree based– Proximity / Closeness based– Betweenness based
Centralization of a network Prestige of actors
– Indegree and proximity Groupings: Cliques, Clusters, Positions
9
Social network analysis Indicators - Examples
Individual: – Degree centrality: Activity of a node
C D (ni) = d(ni) = xi+
– Normalized degree centralityC’D (ni) = d(ni) / (g-1)
10
Social network analysis Indicators - Examples
Global: – Density: Global activity of the network
= 2 L / g (g -1) L, number of links; g, number of nodes
– Degree Centralization: Dependency of a single actor
CD = 1<=i<=g [CD (n*) – CD( ni)] / (g-1) (g-2),
CD (n*) = maxiCD( ni)

CD (x21) = 9,1 %CD (x32) = 9,1 %
13
Social network analysis Data Collection and Transformations
Computer-mediated communication– Discussion Forums– Mailinglists– Web 2.0 applications, such as xing, facebook etc.
Archival records / artifacts– Bibliographies– Wikis– Versioning systems (e.g. CVS)
Automatically processable Potential for transformation between differenet
network types
14
Social network analysis Limitations of the method
Frequently not all of the interaction takes place inside a computer environment– People going for a coffee and discussing their
homework Interpretation is hard without „insider
knowledge“, i.e. replication is difficult Combination with other methods is useful
„triangulation“

Research context
16
CSCL – Computer Supported Collaborative Learning– Emphasises interactions among learners
F2F / Distance / Blended– Technology and models to support the whole lifecycle– Validation in authentic scenarios
17
Research ContextEvaluation of CSCL situations
Overall research question: How to help teachers in monitoring participatory aspects of learning by means of technology?
“Validation” research question: How is the evolution of participation structures in a classroom supported by technology?
17
Integrate context Study of real situations Participants’ point of view
New forms of interaction
Visualisation processes Participatory aspects
Scalable and efficient processes
Research contextWhat we needed … Mixed evaluation

Tools Qualitative analysis
Many tools NVivo (antes Nud*IST) allows to analyse
qualitative data:– Textual– Video, audio
Supports the researcher in “making sense” of the data.
