ABSTRACT
The rapid development of science and technology and the integration of networking, community and data analysis has created a new state of higher education featuring digital learning environments. To understand gender differences in the digital learning performance of university students and give students appropriate and timely assistance, this study examined an university in Taiwan with 1,582 students enrolled in the 2014--2016 academic year. We investigated the differences in 24 variables of student's personal backgrounds, learning outcomes, and records in the digital system. Results showed significant gender differences (p <0.05) in semester average scores, rankings of semester average scores, early warning records, tutoring records and digital course performance. On the whole, females outperformed males in digital courses and overall learning outcomes.
