Authors:

Keywords: social networks; graph; topological study

Abstract:
This research aims to carry out a topological study of social networks located in university forums of the Moodle platform. Graphs were built visualizing the structure of the nodes and links and calculating statistical parameters such as: degree, betweenness centrality, clustering coefficient, PageRank, EigenVector centrality and assortativity. The communities’ structure was also estimated. This study analyzed how students and faculties worked and socialized in the educational environment, which helped to know more precisely the level of involvement of each student as well as to improve some learning and methodological aspects. Several subjects and forums were analyzed (theoretical and practical contents).
