Stephen Downes

Knowledge, Learning, Community

This article (9 page PDF) doesn't take us deeply into the subject but nonetheless offers an insight on learning networks from the perspective of physics education research (PER). "Insights from physics education research suggest combining social and interaction networks with other data sources and looking for finer-grained details to use in constructing networks." In particular, suggests Adrienne Traxler, if student interactions are important to the learning of physics, as they seem to be (because, Traxler observes, simply understanding the mathematics is insufficient to understanding the subject) then how might network analysis play a role in evaluating them in physics classes?
