The vigorous development of the internet and technology has promoted the rapid popularization of online education. Online learning space such as social media and class learning forum, has gradually become an important place for education. However, few people pay attention to the new characteristics of students' learning in online learning space, such as self-presentation behavior manifestations and motivations. The connotation of the dimensions of self-presentation behaviors is not well defined, and its relationship with online learning presence is not clear. Therefore, this study explores the manifestations and internal motivation of college students' self-presentation behaviors through quantitative research, and analyses the relationship between self-presentation behaviors and online learning presence. It is found that college students' self-presentation behaviors in online learning space can be described by specific manifestations such as posting enthusiasm and interaction frequency. Meanwhile, there are four main motivations for college students' self-presentation behaviors, and the proportion of these motivations in different situations is not the same. Moreover, there is a high positive correlation between self-presentation and online learning presence.
