In the information age, online teaching has become an essential field of educational development. The work aims to analyze the factors influencing learning intention of Overseas Students (OSs) during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). The work adopts the method of Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), and implements the influencing factor model of open source software online Chinese learning (OCL). Specifically, the OSs of five colleges and universities in Fuzhou are taken as the research objects. The data is collected through questionnaire survey (QS) and Spss25.0 to analyze the reliability and validity of the data, and Amos23.0 is used to validate the model. The results present that autonomy and self-discipline have become the necessary factors affecting open source software OCL, and personal interests and hobbies are the main factors affecting open source software OCL. Meantime, perceived interest, self-learning management, effort expectation, community influence, performance expectation, and promotion conditions have a significant positive impact on the willingness to promote Chinese learning, and their influence degree increases in turn. The conclusion can provide a novel online teaching and learning strategy for open source software under the COVID-19 situation.
