Abstract | The role of social media in higher education has shifted from providing a web 2.0 solution for supporting communication in computer supported learning to more advanced functionalities including virtual learning environment tools (e.g. content sharing, threaded discussions). This paper discusses how social media data analysis can equip tutors with visual probes for certain areas that may need attention. The paper also describes how data mining can be used for assessing the source of communication patterns in computer supported collaborative (e.g. issues associated with content, learning activities or student competencies). |
