Abstract

Personal Learning Environments are used more and more by the academic community. They can coexist with formal courses as a communication and collaboration channel. In this paper, an application of learning analytics into HOU2LEARN, a Personal Learning Environment set by Hellenic Open University is discussed. The present part of research focuses on the social network analysis as a branch of learning analytics, along with formal grading system. Since it is an ongoing research, this paper presents the preliminary results of the study of the correlation between the social network metrics and the formal grades, through a test case course, the PLH42.
