Improved Learning Model of Flipped Classroom
On-line learning platforms have the features of abundant resources, sharing, convenience, and so on, and all of these
characteristics make it into one of the more powerful learning tools. On-line learning provides good functionality for
supporting students' learning and prompts positive attitudes in students and teachers, so it also can be defined as a
second classroom. The on-line collaborative learning depends on the Internet and uses collaborative learning methods.
This model takes full advantage of Internet resources, and cultivates the learners’ abilities to self-learn, communicate
and coordinate their activities with others and to solve practical problems.
From what has been discussed above, one may reasonably arrive at the conclusion that a flipped classroom and a
collaborative learning platform can support each other, and even blend together. The improved learning process of the
flipped classroom can be divided into three main stages: before class, in class and after class. The collaborative learning
platform supports the whole learning process, as shown in Figure 2.
Before class, it is used to assist in transforming knowledge. In class, based on the platform, teachers and learners
conduct emotional communication activities. After class, students locate materials that will enable them to make up for
the deficiencies in their own knowledge system; and teachers provide pertinent distance guidance. Therefore, it truly
makes knowledge delivery successful, and improves a student’s comprehensive capacities.
