OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Understanding how groups think: Exploring the theoretical and empirical potential of epistemic network analysis

This seminar will focus on a new methodological approach in educational research, epistemic network analysis (ENA). Derived from social network analysis, ENA converts qualitative data into a summation of unit matrices that can be quantitatively visualized and analysed. ENA has been used to demonstrate the ways different groups value and connect ideas in domains, how ideas communicated in documents are related, and ways that people and ideas interact which can then be mapped into a learning ecosystem. When used in a repeated measure design, ENA can demonstrate patterns of change among ideas and people. The seminar will demonstrate the variety of applications of ENA and briefly discuss the procedures from initial data collection to visualization. Limitations of the method and future applications will be discussed.
