Optimizing social learning networks
Social learning networks are ubiquitous in our contemporary hyper-connected reality. News and social feeds, forums and FAQs make it easy to disseminate and gather information. Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) deliver education online to vast numbers.
Tenzin Doleck and colleagues are studying ways to optimize social learning networks as an important, collective source of wisdom and ingenuity. Their study Evaluating the efficiency of social learning networks: Perspectives for harnessing learning analytics to improve discussions, was recently published in Computers and Education.

SFU scholars can reach out to their faculty communications and marketing team for support sharing their work as a news story or on social channels. They can become SFU media experts, pitch an article to The Conversation Canada, or nominate their work for a Scholarly Impact of the Week profile.
SFU's Scholarly Impact of the Week series does not reflect the opinions or viewpoints of the university, but those of the scholars. The timing of articles in the series is chosen weeks or months in advance, based on a published set of criteria. Any correspondence with university or world events at the time of publication is purely coincidental.
For more information, please see SFU's Code of Faculty Ethics and Responsibilities and the statement on academic freedom.
