This quantitative research used a questionnaire survey to collect data. The data were analyzed descriptively with tabulations and distributions of empirical data. The result reveals that 75% of Malaysian lecturers and 83% of Indonesian lecturers prefer to use synchronous learning; 25% of Malaysian lecturers and 17% of Indonesian lecturers prefer to use asynchronous learning; 65% of Malaysian students and 71% of Indonesian students prefer to use synchronous learning; 35% of Malaysian students and 29% of Indonesian students prefer to use asynchronous learning. For synchronous learning, 58% of the total respondents in Malaysia like virtual meeting as an online learning tool. In Indonesia, 59% of the total respondents like phone call as an online learning tool.
