This study wants to examine the factors that drive high school students' motivation in conducting distance learning. This research was conducted in the city of Medan, North Sumatra. the sample in this study were 100 students who had done distance learning. the independent variables in this study are engagement, community building and personal learning environment. The results showed that all predictor variables in this study had a positive and significant effect on students' motivation in conducting distance learning. It is hoped that this research can contribute to the case of distance learning in high school students.
