Dengan demikian, penelitian ini berkontribusi menambah rujukan mengenai pembelajaran daring terutama kebermanfaatannya bagi siswa.

Abstract: Online learning is an innovation in learning mode brought by the inevitability of information and communication technology. The present study highlights the benefits of online learning for students. The study was conducted as library research, where previous studies on the benefits of online learning were used as the data source. The study revealed that online learning is argued to have positively affected students' autonomy, motivation, and collaboration skills while providing flexible learning for the learners. The abundance of online sources, tools, and networking enables learners to navigate their learning. These results imply that teachers, educators, and students should embrace online learning and its supporting applications to improve learning processes and outcomes. The present study contributes to the limited literature on a general overview of online learning benefits seen from the learners' side.
