The technological advancement in learning has made it possible for students to study beyond space and time restrictions, known as online learning. Impacted by the pandemic for an extended period, most students have adapted to online learning and, even more, have realized the vast benefits of online learning despite all the minor disadvantages. As a result, worldwide institutions, including Indonesia, are now offering online degrees and courses. Previous studies have shown contradictory results of cost factor effects on online courses, from the least important to the most critical factor for student achievements. Therefore, deciding the online course rates has been a major concern for online course providers. This research aims to answer the fundamental question of designing costs for online learning by analyzing online course preferences and ensuring sustainability by proposing a framework for the E-learning Pricing Model Policy in Higher Education using literature studies and qualitative approaches. The results show four main phases: the preparation phase, which conducts market research to understand consumer demand and behavior; the implementation phase, which includes marketing expenses and tutor fees; evaluation phase, which includes the course content material and video production revisions for further implementation. In addition, the infrastructure phase as the Learning Management System's virtual space is added with the Cloud Expenses. However, as a limitation of this research, countless factors influence online course rates, and no exact number can determine those rates. Nevertheless, the course cost can be estimated by considering the factors that affect the overall cost and the number of learners who take the course. As a result, this framework acts as an essential foundation for institutions to determine sustainable online course rates.

“…These include the increasing use of computers, computer tablets, and smart phones by our learners, often in combination with Internet course websites, educational applications or apps, online videos (for example, YouTube), and social networking sites (such as Facebook, Twitter and others), all of which allow students to study and learn on their own time. In addition, the past decade has brought us extensive collections of online academic courses (Massive Open Online Courses or MOOCs as offered by Khan Academy, Coursera, edX and other sites) (Bernstein 2013). Without question, these new open learning opportunities have led to a greatly increased distribution of instructional content and a general democratization of higher education, including the fields of biology and medicine.…”

“…College students' learning cognition in relation to online learning can be observed through three indicators: learning motivation, information perception, and adaptability ( 49 – 51 ). When choosing a subject to learn, college students do not passively accept environmental information but selectively adjust their attention on the basis of their current cognitive level, actively discovering and exploring the objective world ( 52 ). Motivations for online learning include satisfying curiosity, acquiring knowledge and skills, seeking personal challenges, seeking pleasure, supplementing professional learning content, communicating with others, improving education, and obtaining credits ( 53 ).…”

With the spread of COVID-19 worldwide, online education is rapidly catching on, even in some underdeveloped countries and regions. Based on Bandura's ternary learning theory and literature review, this paper takes online learning of college students as the research object and conducts an empirical survey on 6,000 college students in East China. Based on literature review and factor analysis and structural equation model, this paper discusses the relationship among learning cognition, learning behavior, and learning environment in online learning of college students. The learning behavior includes interactive communication, self-discipline mechanism, classroom learning, and study after class. The learning environment includes teaching ability, knowledge system, platform support, process control, and result evaluation; learning cognition includes learning motivation, information perception, and adaptability. It is found that the learning environment has a significant positive impact on learning behavior, and learning cognition has a significant positive impact on learning behavior. It is uncertain whether the learning environment significantly impacts learning cognition. At the learning environment level, the teaching ability (0.59) has the most significant impact on the learning environment, followed by result evaluation (0.42), platform support (0.40), process control (0.33), and knowledge system (0.13). In terms of the influence on learning behavior, classroom learning has the most significant impact (0.79), followed by self-discipline mechanism (0.65), study after class (0.54), and interactive communication (0.44). In terms of learning cognition, information perception (0.62) has the most significant influence, followed by learning motivation (0.50) and adaptability (0.41). This paper suggests strengthening the construction of platforms and digital resources to create a more competitive learning environment. Improve process management and personalized online services, constantly stimulate students' enthusiasm for independent online learning, and cultivate students' online independent learning ability to promote the sustainable and healthy development of online education.
