The aim of the study was to find out how students preferred using
asynchronous and synchronous e-learning tools. Asynchronous learning occurs
when there is no predetermined time for it to take place. Learners can learn
whenever and wherever they want, and they can take their time to learn what
they need to know. Synchronous e-learning is characterized by structured and
time-bound activities delivered via web conferencing and chatting. At the
Preparatory Centre for Science and Technology, Universiti Malaysia Sabah
(PCST, UMS) lecturers could conduct synchronous or asynchronous due to
MCO which was enforced on March 18, 2020. As a result, this study was done
to examine the impact of several learning styles on foundation UMS students
during the COVID-19 crisis, including synchronous and asynchronous. The
quantitative data analysis of research will be presented in this study. Microsoft
Excel was used for data analysis. The male and female students' opinions were
compared using an independent sample t-test. Additionally, the responses of
students to various aspects of e-learning were represented using descriptive
statistics. The findings found a significant difference in students' perceptions
of the efficacy of asynchronous e-learning activities. Female students’
responses show that they found asynchronous is more effective than male
students at the foundation education level. Students were found to have a
greater interest in asynchronous and blended learning activities.
