Abstract: The swift transition to online learning amid the COVID-19 pandemic has markedly impacted global educational practices and augmented the utilisation of online learning platforms. A method purported to be efficient in time and space represents a solitary experience for numerous learners. This paper analyses and evaluates the relationship between autonomy and other components6 of connectivism in online learning. This study investigates learners’ perceptions of online presence in virtual classrooms. This research is based on Siemens’ (2005) theory of connectivism. The theory posits that practical online lessons require autonomy, connectedness, diversity, and openness. This quantitative study employed a survey questionnaire comprising four main sections and 21 items to address the research questions. The findings from 135 undergraduate participants indicate a significant correlation among autonomy, connectedness, diversity, and openness in online presence. This shows the necessity of incorporating these principles into online learning design.
