I just put together some quick network maps for the online discussions from my thesis research data. Haven’t done any analysis – just some purty pictures to see any at-a-glance differences:
Both discussion platforms had about the same number of posts and responses, but the pattern of connections is markedly different for some reason…
Interesting. You are good at this. I guess we can say they interacted more in WordPress.
yeah. It’s not as clear cut as that, but it definitely looks like the pattern is different. I need to interview the instructor to see how each platform was framed etc…
Great idea. That would be Patti you would talk to?
