abstract |
Although collaborative web-based tools are often used in blended environments such
as education, little research has analysed the predictive power of face-to-face social
connections on measurable user behaviours in online collaboration, particularly in
diverse settings. In this paper, we use Social Network Analysis to compare users’
pre-existing social networks with the quantity of their contributions to an online
chat-based collaborative activity in a higher education classroom. In addition, we
consider whether the amount of diversity present in one’s social network leads to
more online contributions in an anonymous cross-cultural collaborative setting. Our
findings indicate that pre-existing social connections can predict how much users
contribute to online education-related collaborative activities with diverse group
members, even more so than academic performance. Furthermore, our findings suggest
that future Web Science research should consider how the more traditionally ‘qualitative’
socio-cultural influences affect user participation and use of online collaborative
tools. |
