Description: This eStudy is geared for an audience that is at the novice level of experience and expertise in social network analysis. Interest in the field of social network analysis has grown considerably over the last decade. Social network analysis takes seriously the proposition that the relationships between individual units or actors are non-random and that their patterns have meaning and significance. It seeks to operationalize concepts such as position, role, or social distance that are sometimes used casually or metaphorically in social, political, and/or organizational studies. This eStudy course seeks to provide an introduction to social network analysis theories, concepts, and applications within the context of evaluation. Participants will be come to a basic understanding of network concepts, methods, and the software that provides for analysis of network properties. Participants will be exposed to real world examples and discussion to facilitate a better understanding of network structure, function and data collection. 

This eStudy will occur in two 90-minute sessions and will include preparation materials sent before, between, and after the sessions.

Day 1 - This session seeks to provide an introduction to social network analysis theories and concepts.
