This study also found that most of the students highly preferred the online learning or the blended learning classroom. The students highly preferred with Zoom as the learning platform and as a course delivery tool. The findings has contributed to the evolving of the Transformative Learning Theory, particularly in online learning in developing contries like Indonesia. This study provides implications to e-education, educators, education institutions, and website system developers of online learning sites dealing with materials and services.
