ABSTRACT

The construction of online learning communities based on WeChat is not only a requirement for the current educational reform and development but also a necessity for students to enhance their own quality. This study analyzes a series of issues regarding how online learners use WeChat as a channel to obtain course information; how course organizers use WeChat as a medium to promote and organize learners' learning; and how learners use WeChat as a platform to interact with course organizers and other learners. The analysis reveals the profound transformation in learning that is occurring in the current online learning environment. From the perspective of a manager, the study proposes strategies for constructing online learning communities in the mobile learning environment with WeChat. Ultimately, it aims to build a WeChat-based online learning community platform model, where online learners can frequently communicate and share learning resources with other members, thereby completing learning tasks together and forming a partnership relationship where all members influence and promote each other.
