How can human behavior and social relationships be better facilitated and structured by modern technologies, especially in schools and academic settings?

The Social Networks Collaborative is an interdisciplinary group of scholars trying to resolve these questions in their own disciplines. The collaborative is working to define a research-based framework for the design and development of an online social network architecture intended to strengthen students’ educational attainment and community engagement.
