discussion forums, including social question and answer (Q&A) sites, arebecoming increasingly popular for problem-solving and help-asking. Users of these sites askquestions, post responses, or search information from existing threads to satisfy theirinformational needs. One popular use of online discussion forums is to provide help witheducational content [26]. Research shows that online forums are robust platforms for learning 1as they evolve over time and become a rich source of information for participants due to theinterpersonal exchange they. For instance, van De Sande [26] examined an online help forumfor mathematics and found that learners receive general forms of help that orient the
online social platforms for education is not a new conceptfor students. In fact, it is not uncommon for a new cohort of University of Waterlooundergraduate students to actively maintain a closed online discussion group (e.g., Facebook) tocommunicate class news, course-related Q&A, and other discussion. Instructors are rarelyincluded in these existing conversations. Students who use these online groups to ask course-related questions enjoy the benefits of peer-to-peer learning and convenience of obtaining quickanswers without having to leave their study area, but at the possible cost of accuracy andcompleteness of response. This presents an opportunity to create a formal discussion forum thatcan be actively moderated by the instruction team

, distance is not considered and despite the visible dissimilarity between profiles on the right plot, entities would likely be assigned membership to the same cluster. 2) Euclidean distance. An intuitive measure for distance, Euclidean distance is the straight- line distance between two points in multidimensional space. It is calculated using 𝑑𝐸 (𝑝, 𝑞) = √(𝑝1 − 𝑞1 )2 + (𝑝2 − 𝑞2 )2 + ⋯ + (𝑝𝑛 − 𝑞𝑛 )2 where n represents the number of dimensions or variables being considered and p and q represent the respective measures of two points on each of the dimensions. A variation on this distance is the Squared Euclidean distance which eliminates the square root
