The purpose of this study is to examine online learning management for Economics subject through three aspects, specifically, learning platform, interaction, and motivation among upper-secondary school students located in Johor throughout the COVID-19 pandemic until now. A total of 103 high school students took part in this study via survey questionnaires, using a stratified random sampling method. This study employs descriptive statistics, mean scores, and correlation analyses. The findings disclose that online learning management for economics subject in all three aspects, learning platform, interaction and motivation, are at a high level with overall mean scores of 3.98, 3.70 and 3.58, respectively. Despite other apps' popularity, Google Meet platform continues to become the most preferred online learning platform. With the exception of highly correlated motivation and online learning management variables, the rest of the paired variables are positive and moderately correlated. Clearly, everything depends on the students themselves in determining the outcomes of their academic performances irrespective of whether learning is held online or face-to-face.
