Abstract: Objective Taking the undergraduate education and preventive medicine for example, this paper examines and evaluates the student engagement and learning outcome in online learning during the period of “suspending classes without stopping learning”, and to explore the influencing factors. Methods All undergraduates of preventive medicine in a university in Shandong Province were surveyed with electronic questionnaire of Student Engagement Scale and Learning Outcome Scale. A total of 3 092 questionairs were enroued. The influencing factors were analyzed with t-test, one-way ANOVA and OLS regression. Results The student engagement score was 42.31, and the learning outcome score was 16.38. Grade, ranking, course type, assignments of preview tasks, share of syllabus, share of preview materials, number of questions/quizzes, and assessment of general performance were the influencing factors of student engagement, while gender, grade, ranking, course type and assignments were the influencing factors of learning outcome. Conclusion On the whole, undergraduates of preventive medicine have medium or low level of online learning engagement, and their self-learning ability is relatively poor. Due attention should be paid to promote the in-depth reform of online teaching through good platform and institutional guarantee so as to increase the level of student engagement and learning outcome.

Key words: Online learning, Student engagement, Learning outcome, Teaching engagement, Preventive medicine
