Now <strong>social media are also affecting how we teach and learn<\/strong>. In our paper authored by\u00a0Gruzd, Paulin and Haythornthwaite, which was\u00a0recently\u00a0published in the Journal of Learning Analytics,\u00a0we discuss methods that can help researchers and educators evaluate and understand the observed and potential use of social media for teaching and learning through content and network analyses of social media texts and networks. This paper is based on a workshop given at the Learning Analytics and Knowledge conference, and presents an overview of the measures and potential of a multi-method approach for <strong>studying learning via social media<\/strong>. The theoretical discussion is augmented with study of the case of Twitter discussion from a cMOOC class.<\/p>\n<div>The paper is in open access and available at\u00a0https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/311760042_Analyzing_Social_Media_and_Learning_Through_Content_and_Social_Network_Analysis_A_Faceted_Methodological_Approach<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gruzd, A., Paulin, D., &amp; Haythornthwaite, C.
