Exploring large-scale Mathematics online learning networks

• In Event: DDL- Techniques and Strategies to Improve Online Math Instruction

Short Description

We mined a large open online learning network of over 30,000 students and approximately one million posts. Results found that large open online learning communities begin with a very large network having numerous small sub-communities. The overall network size gradually shrinks, as does the number of sub-communities, and these communities evolve over time for their membership formulation.
