Social learning analytics to describe the learners' interaction in online discussion forum in Moodle

Abstract

Online discussion forums allow learners to maintain discussions about their learning process at any time and any place; where they can express their concerns and ideas, and organize their thoughts. Indeed, online discussion forums are used as an indicator of learner's performance. In this context, this paper presents the Social Learning Analytics (SLA) process to describe the interactions between learners in an online discussion forum in Moodle using the Pajek visualization tool.
