Only when I read Dave's blog (http://davecormier.com/edblog/2011/01/20/mooc-newbie-voice-week-2-big-data-must-be-important-its-big/) that I realised, "What? We supposed to use SNAPP this week?" Now, how did I miss that? ;D
Let me share with you what I've discovered from using SNAPP before I post another to answer George's questions...
I had the first try on one of the discussion topic started by George in Week 2, which I joined. As per my understanding, I need to go into a topic that I've contributed. So the first result is as follows:
The second try on SNAPP is on the Week 2 main list of discussion topics. I've hovered the mouse on my 'node', showing details on my 'data':
I got quite excited that I wanted to try on the Week 1 list of topics, since it has more responses from members of our MOOC. By this time, I hardly can see my node even though I had more than 2 posts in that week:
I saw a link from SNAPP to NetDraw, and statement saying that we can export the data in VNA format into NetDraw application. So I downloaded NetDraw to install it, copied the text format in SNAPP into a notepad file and save it as a *.vna file, and open the *.vna file in NetDraw application to get this result:
Believe it or not, I shouted "Yippee!!" when I saw the *.vna file really gives the graphical view like the one in SNAPP, just by opening the 'text' file! ;D Interesting!
Amazing at technology, amazing at discovery made,
