| Abstract: | In this study, we adopted Jaccard index and tf-idf without stop words to automatically cluster the ideas students discussed in on an online knowledge building platform called Knowledge Forum. We visualized the clusters, provided keywords that most represent the context of each cluster and compared the generated themes with manual coding themes. The results suggest that most of the generated themes were consistent with human coding results. |
