A total of 5,221 students with 1,797,677 logs, including 485 on-the-job students and 4,736 full-time students, were analyzed to depict their spatial-temporal learning patterns, including the relationships between identified patterns and students’ learning performance.\u0000\u0000\u0000Findings\u0000Analysis results indicate on-the-job students took more advantage of anytime, anywhere than full-time students.
