I have heard that Canvas has optional modules available to support social network analysis (SNA). SNA can be used by instructors to x-ray patterns of participation in online discussion boards. As a TA/researcher, I painstakingly built SNA matrices from scratch. This laborious method is fine for research but impractical for everyday instructor use. I am graduating soon and will be working at a different university that has recently transitioned to Canvas. There, I hope to teach and promote social network analysis techniques. Can you tell me what Canvas features or modules - optional or otherwise - can be used to aid social network analysis? Thank you.
