The problems of high course selection rate, low completion rate, and insufficient pertinence of learning support services in online general education courses are the focus of current general education researchers. Based on 3P (presage, process, and product) learning theory, we put forward a “three-stage, four-level” framework for learners’ portrait process of online general education course, including three learning stages of “presage process product” and four levels of “portrait goal, data collection, label analysis, and portrait service.” Then, taking the learners of the online general education course of Zhejiang Shuren College as an example, we make a case analysis based on the portrait framework, evaluate the learning effect from different stages, and put forward targeted teaching strategies and measures. Research results show that the proposed framework can reflect the characteristics of online learning experience, online learning investment, and online learning results of high-risk learners and can provide data support for the design of online learning support services and optimizing learning effects.

This research were aimed 1) to survey the self-regulation behavior among of University of Phayao students 2) to survey the online learning behavior among of University of Phayao students and 3) to study factors on self-regulation that has an influence on an online learning. Sample Group con-sisted of 450 students who enroll general education course of an online courses. The research tool was questionnaire forms about self-regulation in an online course and online learning behavior. The statistics were used to an-alyse the data as follows: mean (M), standard deviation (S.D.), and Stepwise Multiple Regression Analysis. The result found that 1) the students’ behavior on self-regulation was mainly on decision making (M = 3.89) 2) the students’ online learning be-havior was mainly on learner aspect (M = 3.88) and 3) the factors that sup-port students’ online learning behavior consisting of self-observation factor, decision making factor and self-regulation factor. The percentage was 39.90, and shown the raw score and standard score was found from this formula online learning behavior = 0.822 + 0.423 (self-reaction) + 0.183 (self-observation) + 0.141 (decision making) Z online learning behavior = 0.377 Z self-reaction + 0.169 Z self-observation + 0.137 Z decision making


To adequately prepare graduates for the ever-changing and complex work environment, students should be equipped with technical and professional skills. This can be achieved by a curriculum that incorporates General Education Courses (GEC) that teach diverse essential skills that every graduate must possess e.g. academic and professional competencies, ethics, global learning, and active citizenship. Such courses help will produce a well-rounded learning experience and well-versed graduate. A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted with undergraduate engineering and industrial design students at the University of Botswana. The study assessed the students’ current perceptions of the GEC. The results show that the skills outlined in the Learning and Teaching Policy of the University of Botswana are poorly attained. Furthermore, the skills outlined in the policy are not aligned with the skills that will be needed by graduates in the 4th Industrial Revolution. The GEC curriculum at the University of Botswana needs to be reviewed.

The author demonstrates how the use of SERVQUAL, a market-driven assessment model adapted from business, can be used to study student satisfaction with four areas of support services hypothetically related to enrollment managment (academic records, admissions, career services, and financial aid). The sample included 748 students enrolled in general education courses at ten different private institutions.

Success secret number one for a successful online learning program, according to Jeffrey Feldberg, chairman and CEO of Embanet Corp. and who has launched several successful online programs, is “live technical support” (Feldberg, 2001, p. 1). Many student support services, like technical support, are critical to the successful learning experience of all students, but especially for students who are engaged in online learning at a distance. One director of student support services for an online learning program said it this way: “If they’re having trouble with the technology, it’s like showing up at class and the door’s locked and they can’t get in” (Kelly, 2001, p.5). And, just as trouble with technology may keep the class door locked for one student, so can any other unmet student need for another student.
