ABSTRACT
The development of science and technology gradually allows online education to be used more widely. During the COVID-19 epidemic, it has been extensively promoted to decrease the transfer of people and, therefore, become popular in the educational field. Online education aroused active discussion and exploration by scholars. This paper discusses the characteristics and influencing factors of online education in detail and examines how they affect the academic performance of undergraduates. It has been found that a good learning environment and good self-learning ability can improve students’ academic performance. Moreover, the diversity of teachers’ teaching methods and personalized teaching methods in online education are also beneficial for students’ academic abilities. Teachers and relevant organizations can learn more about online teaching and improve their ability to adapt to it. Moreover, education practitioners can shift their teaching models to be more diverse to accommodate the new-style educational environment and improve students’ academic performance in the long term.
