This book introduces Meaningful Purposive Interaction Analysis (MPIA)
theory, which combines social network analysis (SNA) with latent
semantic analysis (LSA) to help create and analyse a meaningful
learning landscape from the digital traces left by a learning
community in the co-construction of knowledge. The hybrid
algorithm is implemented in the statistical programming language and
environment R, introducing packages which capture – through matrix
algebra – elements of learners’ work with more knowledgeable
others and resourceful content artefacts. The book provides
comprehensive package-by-package application examples, and code
samples that guide the reader through the MPIA model to show how the
MPIA landscape can be constructed and the learner’s journey mapped
and analysed. This building block application will allow the reader to
progress to using and building analytics to guide students and support
decision-making in learning.
