Abstract

The analysis using Social Network Analysis (SNA) is focusing more on the number or the frequency of social interactions based on adjacency matrix. This method cannot be used to observe the semantic relationship among e-Learning components. Therefore, this paper aims to propose a new paradigm of Social Network Analysis (SNA) using ontology structure of Moodle e-Learning. By considering the relationship of ontology, we can understand the meaning of semantic relationship more deeply. The ontology of Moodle e-learning system for social network analysis will become great advantage to make measurement not only based on the matrix or number of interactions but also based on the semantic meaning of the relationships among users.
