Since then, higher institutions practiced remote learning and digitized teaching material to replace traditional methods. In return, this research was conducted to evaluate students' perception towards open and distance learning based on the TAM model. 360 questionnaires were distributed with 100% return rate through google form. There are five elements that measure: students' characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages of Online Distance Learning (ODL), students' perception of ODL, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. Findings recorded those hypotheses were accepted and variables are positively related. In conclusion, synergy from both parties (educators and students) play an important role to ensure the success of online distance learning. The final goal of ODL is to make certain education flexible and reach out, thus it needs creativity, empathy, and effort from the stakeholders. With multiple benefits granted by the government plus with the positive perception from both parties, none should leave behind either in technology competency as well psychological wellbeing and the transfer of knowledge.
