Abstract

Resources used in a virtual learning environment are of crucial importance for the development of activities and training students. There is currently a wide range of resources within virtual learning platforms, however is unknown if all of these resources can be used by all participants in a training process according to their learning styles. The following article aims to define an ontological model which promotes structural analysis using tools such as blogs, forums, chats, as well as different types of learning objects within Learning Content Management System platforms. To facilitate the study, Pajek was used as a tool SNA Social Network Analysis. It is intended with this model to analyze the behavior of participants in virtual platforms, as well as interaction they have with tools and content within a learning platform LCMS.
