Abstract

Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) environments facilitated by technology have become a viable learning alternative from which valuable data can be extracted and used for advanced analyses centered on evaluating participants’ involvement and their interactions. Such automated assessments are implemented within the ReaderBench framework, a Natural Language Processing platform that contains multiple advanced text analysis functionalities. The ReaderBench framework is based on Cohesion Network Analysis from which different sociograms, relying on semantic similarity, are generated in order to reflect interactions between participants. In this paper, we briefly describe the enforced mechanisms used to compare two Math communities, namely an online knowledge building community and an online course.
