Creating a virtual learning community (VLC) and FIM
How can flipped instructional model make use of virtual learning communities? I have been contemplating on this question for some time and I have come up with these: Since flipped instructional model makes use of a certain learning management system like Blackboard or Canvas, the learners are actually situated in a virtual learning space; however, turning this virtual learning space into a "community", we need to take several dimensions into account such as membership identity, co-construction of knowledge, legitimate peripheral participation, and situated cognition in particular because these a VLC can serve as the context or situation, or the source or platform of various contexts or situations into which learners' learning experiences can be situated.
