The social network analysis above was based on CSU interact chat room. A chat room is a place where analysis would should how frequently interactions take place between
-two or more people
-lurkers making few comments
-leaders posing questions in a forum
This chat room was made up of a lecturer and students which may explain frequent interaction between A (lecturer) and DEFGH (students). Some students interacted with each other more than others depending on their connection for example some students may be in the same POD.
The chat room interaction would be different to POD because PODs are smaller in size thus more chance for even interaction between people. Some interaction may not be between individuals but an individual with the whole group. For example, asking general group questions will receive a variety of answers. The frequency of Interaction may vary depending on the roles of individuals in the POD. There may be a leader who interacts with all members and there may be followers who interact with the leader and individuals.
