“…Situated learning systems focus on growth in students' cognition (Choi & Hannafin, 1995), as suggested by Cognition and Technology Group, to allow students to understand the environments of new knowledge by placing learners in realistic settings where socially acquired ways of knowing are often valued (Lave & Wenger, 1991). Students construct understanding rather than being taught specific knowledge through exploration in the community with diversified perspectives from others (Winn, 1993). Individual learning should be thought of involving opportunities to participate in the community and the development of an identity which provides a sense of belonging (Handley et al, 2006).…”

The transition to online learning due to COVID-19 brought opportunities for applying Situated Learning Theory through mobile social media to enhance individual cognitive growth and community sense of belonging in online learning environments. In this study, we invited students from an Environmental Psychology course to participate in a semester-long project, during which they were required to post Instagram photos of their surrounding environments every week. We intend to understand the mechanism of integrating social media (Instagram) into a hybrid class amid the global pandemic, and how the project affects students’ learning experience. Through in-depth interviews with 22 study participants, we found that integrating Instagram into the course helped students effectively connect with both real contexts and their peers. The project enhanced participants’ situation awareness and a sense of belonging through posting, interacting with peers, and browsing profiles and posts. We then proposed a framework of creating a situated learning environment through social media using conjecture mapping to inform design implications and future studies in social and mobile learning communities.
