Studies related to online learning are pertinent to discover ways on enhancing learning interests among students. After the hit of Covid-19 which forced the education system worldwide to change its usual physical mode of teaching into online, many factors such as motivation have garnered attention in research to maintain a productive learning experience for students. The objective of this study is to investigate the influence of autonomy, openness, connectedness and diversity among the learners on online learning motivation. This quantitative study was conducted with 117 students who answered a survey replicated from (Bandura, 1978; Fowler, 2018). The instrument used is a 5 Likert-scale survey with 6 sections; demographic profile, autonomy, openness, connectedness and diversity. The findings demonstrated that a strong linkage is found among values of autonomy, openness, connectedness and diversity in boosting online learning motivation and these factors are equally influential and important.
