. SNAPP (Social Networks
Advancing Pedagogical Practice) is one university-based learning analytics program (developed at the University of Wollongong in
Australia) that analyses the social networks that form within learning
management systems. SNAPP records statistics on not only which students
participate on LMS’, and how frequently, but also pays close attention
to which students respond to which students’ comments and posts,
emerging leaders, whose posts are frequent and elicit much discussion,
and outliers, who contribute little. Snapp also provides visualizations
of these social networks to instructors and course administrators.
This is an article written about Tapscott's book Growing Up Digital, and talks about how students learning should be customized.
