Abstract

A system and method for receiving literacy metrics for a plurality of authors, the literacy metrics being based on multiple revisions of a document performed by the plurality of authors. Analyzing the multiple revisions to identify interactions between the plurality of authors and providing for display a collaboration graph based on the interactions of the plurality of authors, is provided.

Claims

1. A computer implemented method, comprising:

receiving, at a processing device, literacy metrics for a plurality of authors, the literacy metrics received for each author based on multiple revisions of a document associated with the plurality of authors;

analyzing, by the processing device, the multiple revisions to identify interactions between the plurality of authors; and

generating, by the processing device, a collaboration graph displaying the interactions between the plurality of authors.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the literacy metrics comprise document sophistication values, and wherein the collaboration graph displays changes of the document sophistication values for each revision of the multiple revisions.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the literacy metrics comprise document sophistication values, and wherein the collaboration graph displays changes of the document sophistication values for each author of the plurality of authors.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the multiple revisions occur during a predetermined duration of time, the predetermined duration of time being a semester.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the collaboration graph comprises a chord diagram displaying the literacy metrics of the plurality of authors.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the collaboration graph includes nodes and arcs, each node representing an author of the plurality of authors and each arc representing the interactions between the plurality of authors.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the interactions between the plurality of authors are identified during a modification of the document.

8. A computer system comprising:

a memory; and

a processing device communicatively coupled to said memory, said processing device configured to;

receive, at a processing device, literacy metrics for a plurality of authors, the literacy metrics received for each author based on multiple revisions of a document associated with the plurality of authors;

analyze, by the processing device, the multiple revisions to identify interactions between the plurality of authors; and

generate, by the processing device, a collaboration graph displaying the interactions between the plurality of authors.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium programmed to include instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform a method, said method comprising:

receiving, at a processing device, literacy metrics for a plurality of authors, the literacy metrics received for each author based on multiple revisions of a document associated with the plurality of authors;

analyzing, by the processing device, the multiple revisions to identify interactions between the plurality of authors; and

generating, by the processing device, a collaboration graph displaying the interactions between the plurality of authors.
