Abstract

This study aims to discover how attitudes can moderate the positive impacts of using online learning platforms. The structural equation model (SEM) examined the causal relationships between the dependent, mediating, and independent variables. The model was developed and tested using data from an online distance learners (ODL) survey administered during COVID-19 in China, which yielded 468 valid surveys. It was found that students' attitude is the intervening factor mediating the relationship between positive impacts and the tendency to use online learning platforms among international students in China. According to the findings, attitude plays a significant role in shaping the students' intentions toward using online learning platforms in China. It will also enable ODL institutions to create top-notch online learning environments that better meet students' needs and give them the desired advantages.
