摘要：This paper presents a web-based graduation-project management system that utilizes project-based and networked learning methods. The system is developed using Moodle open source platform that employs social constructivism learning theory. The main objective of this system is to manage and control activities such as submission of project deliverables, grading, evaluation, announcements, and supplementary course material along with facilitate an efficient communication between the many participants in the graduation project course including: students, supervisors, mentors, examiners and graduation project committee members. While students can organize their deadline submissions with less effort, supervisors and graduation project committee can track and monitor students� transactions instantaneously. To highlight the advantages of using a web-based graduation-project system a Social Network Analysis is applied to study the interactions messages amongst all participants using cohesion measures including density and centrality. The results of analyzing the learning network of the graduation project system show that students interact and communicate as active learners while the system can assist supervisors and other participants in coordinating and managing the processes of the graduation project course.
