what is VLC

The learning commons is a learning setting where knowledge generation and self-directed learning are prioritized (Heitsch & Holley, 2011).

According to Loertscher & Koechlin (2012), a virtual learning commons is an online form of learning commons. It is a platform where school students, teachers and parents can communicate, learn and create knowledge for each other.

the vision of CISB'S VLC

FOR STUDENTS, PARENTS AND TEACHERS

The VLC provide students with a vast array of digital resources, including e-books, websites, videos, etc., which can allow students to acquire knowledge in more ways.
The VLC creates an engaging learning environment. Rich learning resources, games and activities can make students more willing to learn.
The VLC allows stakeholders (students, librarians, teachers, parents) to use the platform together, and all benefit from it.
The VLC, as an extension of offline learning sharing, can complement the library's services and make them more thorough.
