This necessarily requires a paradigm shift in educational institutions, with different platforms providing the same level of competency and understanding. As a result, schools were forced to adopt online learning and resources as the new mode of instruction. The goal of this study was to find out how students feel about synchronous online learning. This study utilized qualitative research design employing basic qualitative research by Merriam and Tisdell (2016) to explore the students' views in synchronous online learning. This study used guided interview to gather the needed data and were analyzed using thematic analysis to figure out the experiences of the students. The study revealed that the students have different views towards synchronous online learning which contributed to the idea by demonstrating that synchronous settings are not consistent environment, but rather provide various options for teaching and learning.
