This winter we were approached by PhD student Thomas Langenberg who is currently studying Social Network Analysis in search of detailed information on how members in online communities such as Newschoolers share information, and in general interact with each other on an ongoing basis.

In the interest of the great concept of learning we decided to help, and we’ve done so by implementing a survey through NS that we’d now like the community’s help with (i.e. you, reading this right now). By participating you’re aiding both the research project and Newschoolers and you even have a chance to win some prizes. All the relevant information is laid out below by Thomas and he or I will be happy to answer any question you may have. Thanks to everyone that takes the time to help!

You can learn more about the survey here (& under Interact \ Survey): https://newschoolers.com/ns3/web/content/pagetemplate.php?name=survey&page=survey_main

I gave up. I have to much energy to sit and answer the questions. I gave a good attempt and I would like to apolagize to the NS people.

Dear all,
here are some morning stats of the NS social network survey.
- 292 people have filled out the survey completely, and
- 476 have taken the survey at least partly.
Thank you everyone for having taken or still taking the survey!

Have a look at the pictures, which I have uploaded yesterday and which show a first overview on the results of the survey (https://newschoolers.com/ns3/web/content/pictures.php?img=78892&).

Best,
Thomas

you should have a huge one that you can zoom in on, where we can see which blue dot we are.

Hey Ben,
I'll think about that. Maybe I can also post several section sin a higher resolution. I'll wait for the final structure of the network and then you'll get some good pics!

Hey t3dizzle,
I extended the update time to 7 instead of 2 days. You should be able to modify the survey now for more than just two days.

Just let me know, if you have any more problems accessing the survey.
Best,
Thomas

Hi,
we are currently having 910 responses and I am planning to do another "ask-the-people-to-complete-the-survey" early next week. The reason for that is that I have 2/3's of all the respondents where I haven't got the username, which makes it difficult to place them on the network map. So I will ask them again to take the survey in order to get a more complete overview on the NS survey.
So the answer to your question will then be "approx. by the end of the month (June)".
Best,
Thomas
