摘要

在线学习已成为成人学习者的主流趋势。因此，本研究基于一个在线学习平台的数据，调查了成人学习者的学习时间偏好以及课程完成与学习活动的关系。结果表明，成人学习者参与网络课程学习的情况存在周期性波动。此外，在讨论板上发帖的活动是影响他们完成在线课程的主要学习活动因素。期望本研究能帮助线上学习系统的设计者、教育管理者和教师更了解成人学习者的特点和他们的学习活动，为他们提供更好的线上学习环境的可及性和灵活性。

Exploring the characteristics of adults’ online learning activities: a case study of EdX online institute

Online learning has become a prevailing trend among adult learners. Therefore, this study investigated the learning time preference and the relationship between the course completion and learning activities among adult learners based on data from one online learning platform. Results indicate that a periodical fluctuation of participating online course study exists among adult learners. Additionally, the activity of posting on the discussion board is a main learning activity factor that influences their online course completion. It is expected that this study would help online learning system designers, education administrators and instructors to better understand the characteristics of adult learners and their learning activities to provide better accessibility and flexibility in online learning environments for them.
