Some MOOC platforms provide terminal apps. Learners can use smart phones, pads, and other mobile devices to carry out mobile learning. In MOOC-based mobile learning research, many researchers place attention on the construction of the learning environment and resources, teaching mode design, evaluation and learning effect, etc. From the perspective of social networks, the paper uses social network analysis and content analysis to analyze knowledge building combined with the learners' social attributes. The results showed that MOOC learners take interaction positively, but could not achieve high-level knowledge building.}, year = {2017}, month = {11/2017}, publisher = {Springer, Singapore}, pages = {363-377}, country = {Singapore}, doi = {10.1007/978-981-10-6144-8_21}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-10-6144-8_21}, isbn = {978-981-10-6144-8}, refereed = {yes}, keywords = {knowledge building, MOOC, social network analysis}, }
