Discovery of online learning collaboration group based on two-stage clustering algorithm

Many studies have confirmed that the role of online learning collaboration group is very important. For large-scale online learning, how to effectively find the learning collaboration group is a difficult problem. The online learning forum is the main place for learners to learn and communicate, so it is the main venue for learning collaboration groups to implement collaborative learning. In the implementation process of learning collaboration, there are two characteristics between learning team members. First, there is interaction between them. Second, the contents of their discussion have high relevance. In this paper, the study uses these two important characteristics and carries out two-stage clustering algorithm based on the interaction structure and interactive contents of learners to find the potential learning collaboration groups in the large-scale online learning forum. The experimental results show that the method proposed in this paper is effective. This has practical significance for large-scale online learning support services.
