Abstract: Online education is the main form of pedagogy during the COVID-19 pandemic. The description and analysis of the emotional experience of online education for college students are of considerable significance. This paper surveyed and investigated the online learning experience of 1,147 college students during the pandemic. Moreover, their experience of offline and online learning was analysed. The results demonstrate that college students prefer face-to-face learning. Online learning produces more negative emotions, whereas face-to-face learning induces more positive emotions; academic situation, self-management, learning atmosphere, interpersonal relationship, self-expression, collective honour are the leading causes of students' emotions.

Keywords: face-to-face learning; online learning; emotional experience.
