Abstract

This paper investigates the potential of existing methods for analyzing collaboration in wiki environments. After a short description of the motivation for this research paper a presentation of analysis methods in CSCL will be given, including a special focus on Social Network Analysis. The next section points out the main characteristics of wikis and their differences compared to other CSCL tools. In the following step, the methods for collaboration analysis are transferred to wiki contexts. The paper concludes with open issues and an outlook on future research on this topic area.
