Behaviors of Online Learners: A Case Study

ABSTRACT

This research envisages findings from observations on the behaviors of online learners. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, universities and colleges were forced to use online learning methods, even in places wherein such learning techniques were not previously utilized. However, in 2021, after one year of experience, institutions and students became accustomed to online teaching and learning. Consequently, the behaviors of online learners have a certain resemblance to their behaviors in person face-to-face class situations. This research illustrates the findings on the behaviors of online learners from a case study on a medium-sized private college in rural Japan. © 2021 IEEE
