Research and Development Minigrants for 2017-2018: Application Review

Proposal Summary: The overarching goal of this project is to introduce undergraduate students to multidisciplinaryresearch in online social networks (OSN). OSN research is inherently multidisciplinary, whichdraws upon theories from social science, or how end-users interact within OSNs, andcomputer science, or how OSNs can effectively represent and communicate information toend-users. In line with CI’s mission, this minigrant provides the opportunity to bridge disciplinesand allow students from multiple majors to work on analyzing existing OSN data and designnew OSN features. Additionally, this proposal specifically seeks students from multiculturalbackgrounds, which will allow for a better exploration of the socio-technical factors that affecttechnology adoption. Specifically, this project can be broken down into four phases. In Phase 1, students willanalyze existing online academic conversations extracted from undergraduate onlinediscussion-boards at CI. These conversations will be analyzed for pattern extraction and asocial network analysis will be performed focusing on factors such as quality and sentiment.This social network analysis will be used as input for Phase 2, which will focus on thedevelopment of a new OSN design component as informed by Phase 1. Phase 3 involvesimplementing the Phase 2 design in an existing OSN platform and incorporating it into theSpring 2018 section of COMP342, a course that is cross-listed with Sociology andCommunication. Phase 4 involves measuring the impact of the new design in an educationalsetting and reporting the results at appropriate peer-reviewed academic outlets.

Comments to the Administrator(s): My proposal is 2-4 pages, but I have a set of references at the end. I hope this does not counttowards the page count. If so, please disregard the references. Also, I am getting a submission error stating that I must upload a co-applicant CV. Since thereis no co-applicant, I uploaded another copy of my own CV.
