A sample of 310 cases were estimated based on Krejcie and Morgan’s Table using a stratified sampling method. The research instrument included a five-point rating scale questionnaire. The results showed that 1) overall, the behavior and attention level of online learners, as a whole, was at a high level, and 2) comparing the behavior and attention levels of different types of students, there were no differences in online learning behavior between students of different gender or major.
