E-Learning has become a learning model that attracts a large number of users in the world and also in Vietnam. However, there has been no research in Vietnam on the factors affecting the persistent intention to take an online course. The purposes of the study are: Investigating the predictors that affect intention to persist in online learning courses in Vietnam, how those factors influence each other and give recommendations for e-learning providers to fascinate and engage students in completing te the courses along with increasing business performances. The research framework was developed based on previous studies with different aspects influencing on the intention to persist in online courses: Internal academic locus of control, Satisfaction, Support from family and work/school. The online surveys were designed using Google Form. The object of study includes Vietnamese people who are over 20 years old and studying online courses (Language, Soft skill, Coursera, Professional etc.). The study found that 4 significant factors: (1) age, (2) internal academic locus of control, (3) satisfaction and (4) support from family and work / school have positive impacts on intention to persist in online learning courses. From the findings, the authors propose some specific recommendations to education providers regarding each of the four factors with statistical significant impact on student persistence intention, helping to limit fertility dropouts in the near future.
