The comparison of the online group and the face-to-face group conducted to explore student-learning perceptions regardless of the course delivery method and the online environment.

However, there is no statistically significant difference in learning preference found among level of student. Meanwhile, some students were very comfortable in online learning since it led them to the chance to being innovative by using computer technology.
