Social Interaction protocol

we want a holistic view on the social interaction in the seminar

spot areas where we could offer more support

find out HOW you collaborate

enter EACH AND ANY interaction with fellow students / guardians in a form

who, when, how long, what about, what tool, what mood, what art of interaction

part of the analysis in one seminar topic

Social Network Analysis in Doctoral Communities of Practice

Goal

investigate the dynamics and ties in Communities of Practice

explore influence of physical meeting of strength of ties

Empirical part

analyze dynamic datasets from a real CoP, apply SNA techniques, track temporal changes

Implementation part
