Philippine tertiary students are now in online learning classes due to COVID 19. Thus, this study investigated the students' motivation and self-regulation toward learning technology and computer value. The correlation approach is utilized in establishing the relationship between student's motivation and self-regulation towards learning technology and computer value. The study revealed that students have a positive motivation and self-regulation in learning technology, and also, the students agreed about the importance of computers during COVID-19. The study also revealed a significant and moderate positive correlation, r (685) = 0.577, p<.01, between the students' motivational and self-regulation towards learning technology and computer value. These findings recommend enhancing students' exposure to the various digital learning environments to enhance students' motivation, self-regulation, and computer value, which will improve their engagement in the teaching-learning process during these COVID-19 classes.
