Educational sectors and several institutions have integrated online distance learning due to the pandemic. The study aims to explore the students’ experiences in online distance learning and identify factors that affect students’ online participation. This study used a descriptive qualitative phenomenological design and data were analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) from the semi-structured interviews of the six participants. The study revealed three themes: struggles in online participation, drawbacks of online learning, and circumstances in the new environment. The data revealed that students struggle with online learning, expressing low self-esteem and difficulty focusing on their online classes. However, participants also noted that participation is an avenue for them to gain knowledge and foster online relationships. Also, the two major factors influencing students' participation in online learning were teacher factors and resource availability. Future research should look into student motivation and other factors influencing students' academic performance in online distance learning.
