The objective of the paper is to examine the factors that determine the persistence of learners in distance education. It also gives attention to finding out the influence of intrinsic factors, institutional factors, motivating factors and curtailing factors of students who pursue their graduation programmes through the distance education mode on their persistence to continue the programme. The sample has been taken from a diverse student population in Chennai.The analysis is based on the results obtained using the partial least squares regression method. The study has several policy implications for educational administrators who play an important role in charting out policies to retain students from the first year to the second year, or across years that follow.

Background: Research findings have revealed that some students are not prepared to face the challenges associated with online learning, and attrition rates have been found to be a major concern. This review aimed to investigate the learning characteristics nursing students need before enrolling in online learning to ensure success. Method: Electronic databases were searched to investigate the learning characteristics of students for the literature review. Results: The search identified a final selection of 24 quantitative and qualitative studies. Readiness to learn, self-efficacy, motivation, persistence, and autonomy are learning characteristics for students to possess when enrolling in online learning environments. However, not all students have these learning characteristics; thus, their learning needs should be assessed. Conclusion: More mixed-methods and randomized control trial studies are needed to examine online students' learning characteristics. Nurse educators must evaluate their students to investigate whether online learning fits their learning goals. [ J Nurs Educ . 2021;60(4):209–215.]
