A Study on Online Learning Persistence among College Students in the OMO Context

Xinyue Luo, Jieyu Tang*

Abstract


Online-offline integration (OMO) is now one of the main ways to promote digital transformation in higher education. However,
college students are not always able to concentrate on the online classes regularly. Based on the above, this paper will use both a literature
review and interviews. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 31 faculty members and students from the three universities to learn
about their current situations, motivations, reasons for continuing to take part in online classes under the OMO model, etc. Based on the above
results, it can be concluded that students' interest in online learning generally decreases over time and at different stages. The four main problems in the current OMO model are the lack of student autonomy in online classes, poor integration of online and offline teaching, slow data
feedback, and a weak sense of emotion. Based on the above analysis, we propose to increase the agency of students, revise teaching materials,
improve the usability of platform technology, and create a more supportive emotional environment.
