to designing project-based learning activities.
Therefore, when the Covid-19 outbreak compelled all schools to close
and students to learn from home, they have had only minor adjustment issues. At
worst, however, learning simply did not take place for many students. Their
teachers lacked resources to engage in online learning, and many students do not
have access to internet connections and the necessary gadgets (Lie, 2020).
Forced remote learning encounters prevailing obstacles, particularly with uneven
access to technology and inadequate online teaching methods; the concern is
now growing that remote learning could worsen inequalities in Philippines

Knowledge of the impacting factors on online learning engagement can
aid in resolving the issues and providing equal opportunities for all students.

This study presents interesting results pertaining to online learning
engagement during the Covid-19 pandemic. Insights gained in this study would
contribute to the perspective on the challenges and dilemmas faced by educators
and students elsewhere while engaging in online learning
