Social Interaction protocol
we want a holistic view on the social interaction in the seminar
spot areas where we could offer more support
find out HOW you collaborate
enter EACH AND ANY interaction with fellow students / guardians in a form
who, when, how long, what about, what tool, what mood, what art of interaction
part of the analysis in one seminar topic

Social Network Analysis in Doctoral Communities of Practice
Goal
investigate the dynamics and ties in Communities of Practice
explore influence of physical meeting of strength of ties
Empirical part
analyze dynamic datasets from a real CoP, apply SNA techniques, track temporal changes
Implementation part
develop a tool to support the analysis of CoPs
PHP, CSV handling, allow categorization of imports, export to Gephi
