Abstract

Clarifying the blog’s background and successfully grasping its main subject are essential components of any examination of the blogging community. There are numerous previous researches on how to evaluate blogs and comments to discover the connections and content in a social group. This work seeks to focus on blog comments based on students’ relationships and conduct in a class community and to complement prior research techniques by emphasizing the importance of blog community analysis under Covid-19. It also provides an evaluation of the participation and performance results. We mainly focus on analyzing comments as the interaction among students and discuss the similarity in some highly performance students. With the help of social network analysis for online course student behavior, some tendency related to student behavior in this group has been shown in the experiment results by bias analysis, Pearson correlation, and Latent Dirichlet allocation, which serve as the data processing tools in this experiment.
