There are two online learning goals; as the most effective means of achieving learning objectives and as an effective means of teaching and learning (TnC), and as the most effective means of achieving learning goals more related to a form of flexibility that can encourage learning motivation. Whereas as the most effective means in the learning process is related to the ability of communication technology in providing learning facilities, such as social media. Choice towards technology is neutral, however the choice is determined by other dimensions related to the online learning process. This article explains social support factors in influencing the choice of communication media preferred by students at the University in the process of teaching and learning (TnC) at Andalas University, Padang. From the results of a study using 190 surveys, it was found that the use of social media like Whatsapp was preferred rather than Ilearn provided by the University as a learning medium. Whatsapp as social media provides more social support for student interaction with learning material, student-teacher interaction and student-student interaction
