%X This study focuses on evaluating the indirect relationship among  entrepreneurial education, attitude and intention to become an online  entrepreneur among students in Online Distance Learning higher institutions  in Malaysia. To assess the indirect effect of attitude on the relationship  between entrepreneurial education and intention, the Structural Equation  Model technique was employed. The model was designed and later analysed  using the Partial Least Square procedure on data collected from a survey that  yielded 317 usable questionnaires. The results demonstrated that attitude has  a mediating effect on the relationship between entrepreneurial education and  intention to become an online entrepreneur among students in Malaysian  Online Distance Learning higher institutions. The findings suggest that Online  Distance Learning institutions should give a greater emphasis on  strengthening entrepreneurial education and attitude to ensure their Online  Distance Learning students have strong intention to become online  entrepreneurs.
