Abstract(s)
This work applies the methodology of social network analysis to discussion forums
that took place in a virtual environment. These forums were implemented within a virtual
classroom created in a Web 2.0 platform (http://www.edu20.org). The study was carried out
over four months with an English class of secondary school students (11th
grade). In this study,
the virtual environment worked as a complement to face-to-face learning. The analysis of all the
interactions in the forums was done using the software UCINET and NETDRAW. The
sociograms that resulted from this analysis show the interactive dynamics, the roles of the
different actors and that will allow the teacher to decide his teaching practice accordingly.
