Abstract
Flipped classrooms have been the latest trend in online learning. They have been accepted as a novel model because of an application based environment with the students. In this paper, the flipped classroom model has been studied in the context of online classrooms. The author vents in the context of groups in online classrooms and tries to understand the match within the flipped classroom scenario. This study is conducted with instructors and students to understand this attitude towards online classrooms and to integrate them with the flipped structure. Key requirements are identified from the study; which are proposed to influence the design of such a platform. Finally from the study the gaps are recognized, and the author proposes a novel platform for online group activities with a focus on flipped classroom scenario.
