Popis: The pandemic generated by the Coronavirus COVID-19 challenged universities to go exclusively online thus affecting both the education and personal life of teachers and students. This paper analyzes the perceptions of Lithuanian and Romanian university students as regards the extrinsic and intrinsic motivation of online learning during the pandemic. Following the technology acceptance theory, extrinsic motivation has been operationalized as the perceived usefulness and intrinsic motivation as the perceived enjoyment. Although the results show a low to moderate motivation for online learning, there are interesting differences between the two motivating factors, as well as between the perceptions of students from the two countries.
