Asynchronous Learning
Kandi HorsmanOPWL 550
Define asynchronous learning. Define synchronous learning. Categorize communication tools as synchronous
& asynchronous. Explain when & why an asynchronous delivery
method would be appropriate. Explain how to effectively use this method in
conjunction with other methods. Explain ways in which this method will be helpful
to your organization.
ObjectivesAt the conclusion of this session, you will be able to:
What?Define asynchronous learning.
Define synchronous learning.
Asynchronous vs Synchronous
Asynchronous
Communication not in real time◦ different time-different
place
Flexible
◦ learners view information & respond at different times & from different places
No “live” trainer
Synchronous
Communication is in real time◦ same time-different place
learners view content at the same time
responses are immediate
Not flexible
◦ learners must meet at the same time (whether in person or virtually)
“Live” trainer
How (Part I)?Categorize communication tools as synchronous & asynchronous.
