摘要
FIT has a large virtual community, developed for DL students, but including the growing number of in-situ students. Through the last five years, most of the students have accepted and used FIT Community Server (FITCS) for interactions, but the extent of knowledge sharing was never measured. It was determined that FITCS is a small-world scale-free network, with several hubs: some administrators and some spammers. Now we determined characteristics of the social network, such as density, centrality, degree, closeness and betweenness, for overall communication. in first two semesters and for two subjects in order to estimate knowledge sharing.
