In the past few years, we have written up a bulk of work to support and guide teaching of network analysis in the domains related to educational research and modelling of digital networks. Since the nature of publications differs from the intentions of the authors, below, we outline these papers with annotations on their relevance/significance for teaching network analysis of structures constructed from digital traces. We recommend you also look at the empirical studies we have been doing in the area of modelling learner networks from digital trace data.
