Zhang, Jingjing; Skryabin, Maxim; Song, Xiongwei – Distance Education, 2016

This study attempts to make inferences about the mechanisms that drive network change over time. It adopts simulation investigation for empirical network analysis to examine the patterns and evolution of relationships formed in the context of a massive open online course (MOOC) discussion forum. Four network effects--"homophily,"…
