I used a Zotero plugin called Papermachines and extracted the word cloud below from all the research collected so far in the #Ccourses Zotero Research Group. Papermachines is capable of lots of interesting data fluencies from n-grams to word clouds to topic modelling. This will be more useful as more items are added to the Zotero database and the collection of research links is tweaked.
What does this word cloud signify ? It is more about the tool at this point and not the analysis so there isn’t much to observe yet. Part of becoming network fluent is to not only find tools but to evaluate them for yourself AND for others. I can’t do that …yet. What started out as an anaylsis of one web site in a previous post has now become a meta-analysis of several. Thanks #dailyconnect for yet another rabbit hole. Hope this proves of some value to someone beside me. I want these posts to bridge across to others who I don’t know so well in addition to bonding me further to those who do know me. Frankly, I am beginning to wonder if I am doing much of either in this blog. As Karl Fogel says, “The scarce resource will continue to be human attention.”
