摘要

Social media had played an increasingly crucial role in young lives. In this paper, the most popular mobile social media application in China - WeChat has been used to develop an academic social media platform in order to improve students' blended learning outcomes of a SPOC (Small Private Online Course). We divided our workflow into four major parts: (a) pushing course updates directly to students; (b) reminding inactive learners during the self-paced tutorials learning phase; (c) promoting students to participate in discussion forum; (d) providing self-service inquiry for course progress and seating chart. Split-tests between two groups (each group has 219 on-campus students) were conducted in the Fall 2017 semester. We analyzed the behavior statistics and the long-term influence between the controlled group and the experimental group. The results showed that the social tool has a positive impact in the promotion of on-campus students' learning. Our work shows the value of leaving a door open for SPOC researchers, properly identifying participants who are at-risk and developing personalized recommending systems could help in the improving learning outcomes.
