From the result, the researchers found that the mean score of synchronous was higher than asynchronous. The reasons why the students prefer synchronous are because there is the direct interaction between the students and teacher, being easy to understand, direct demonstration, and good emotional relationship between the students and teacher. Meanwhile, the students prefer asynchronous because there is saved task history, the materials can be repeated, providing clear materials, and facilitating assignment submission. Therefore, it can be concluded that the students prefer synchronous. Synchronous can be used to deliver the material and asynchronous can be used to provide the material or task, and students' assignment submission.
