Research shows online students are more likely to quit class if they do not like the instructor, the format, or the feedback.

In Indonesia, online learning is spot as deficient compared with face-to-face learning. It is notably due to the lack of social presence and lacks’ of students satisfaction. However, little research has been done to investigate students’ perception of online learning in Junior High School. This study describes students’ perceptions of social presence and satisfaction by 9th grade at SMPN 3 Banjarmasin. The researcher conducted a qualitative approach with the descriptive method.
