The collected data were analyzed via SPSS software using descriptive analysis and RII analysis. Findings of the study revealed that the statement: 'when learning there is an interesting video display' had the highest RII value (RII = 0.8933), while 'I prefer to learn through the internet becuase any time I can learn' recieved the second highest RII value (RII = 0.8296) for the factor acceptance critera. For the learning effectiveness criteria, the 'online learning factor created curiousity to me in the subject of Geogrpahy' had the highest RII value (RII = 0.8281). Finally, for the achievement critera, the factor of 'understanding the important contents in learning through attractive colors and graphics' contributes the highest RII value (RII = 0.8207). On average, the RII value of the interest criterion was in the highest position (RII = 0.8076), followed by the achievement criterion (RII = 0.7684). Meanwhile, the learning effectiveness critera were in the lowest position (RII= 0.7516) of the overall study criteria.
