I just want to know that a site which is built in Openscholar, a LMS for Drupal.
Therefore, how organic group is tied up with virtual sites? Also I want to know the the Views module's role in such circumstances.

I am not sure about openscholar but what organic modules can do about virtual sites-
- With help of organic group you can declare an entity as a "group" or call it context, an example could be a sports site with group as "cricket"
- With help of og you have permission granularity in context to group, so a user can have access to all post which comes under a "group" in our example "cricket" being totally unaware of other groups, can say "hockey"
- With in group you can have group specific roles, a user who can admin cricket group but still can not do anything on hockey group.
So each group can be seen as fully functional site in itself - virtual site
Note: Domains have nothing to do with og, it's just a matter of context switching

yeah lots of it is the answer...but i want to find out how organic groups are related to vsite(virtual site). I want to know the basic architecture of organic group and vsite. Commented Sep 22, 2015 at 4:53
As a variation of what's explained in the prior answer, you could also use the Group module for this (instead of the Organic groups module). Group allows for creating arbitrary collections of your content and users on your site, and grant access control permissions on those collections. So each group can be seen as fully functional site in itself, i.e. a virtual site.
It is available as of D7, and has a D8 version also. The Group module creates groups as entities, making them fully fieldable, extensible and exportable. So since Group is entirely entity based, it has out-of-the-box integrations (= no extra modules needed) with other great modules such as Rules, the Views, etc.
For more details about the various roles and permissions, refer to my answer to "What are the various roles supported by the Group module?".

Openscholar by default provides a vsite for a particular user..M just wanted to use Rules module, organic module and Views to customize the work flow of Openscholar. Till nothing much has been results, i have tried different approaches but just fail to get desired result. Commented Aug 19, 2016 at 5:41
