Towards a transferable and domain-independent reputation indicator to group students in the Collaborative Logical Framework approach

Abstract. Collaborative indicators derived from quantitative statistical indica-tors of students ’ interactions in forums can be used by e-learning systems in or-der to support the collaborative behaviour and motivation of students. The main objective of this research is to achieve a transferable and domain-independent reputation indicator, considering the information extracted from social network analysis, statistical indicators, and opinions received by students in terms of rat-ings. This paper describes how to consider the reputation indicator in a collabo-rative environment in order to group students (distributing the most prominent students into different groups) aimed to improve the collaborative indicators (such as initiative, activity, regularity)
