Synchronous learning occurs in real-time with live interaction between instructors and students, using tools like video conferencing and chat. Asynchronous learning is self-paced, using materials like prerecorded videos and discussion boards that students can engage with on their own schedule. Both synchronous and asynchronous learning can be used for distance or blended learning and have advantages like cost-effectiveness, feedback, and flexibility.

1. Synchronous
and
Asynchronous

2. O Learning can occur in or out of the
classroom. It can be self-paced,
asynchronous learning or may be
instructor-led, synchronous learning. It is
suited to distance learning and in
conjunction with face-to-face teaching,
which is termed blended learning. Virtual
Classroom can be used by learners and
educators in homes, schools (both K-12
and higher education), businesses, and
other settings for effective online
collaboration.

3. SYNCHRONOUS
O Synchronous Learning takes place in real
time (Same time) while the trainer and
learner are physically separated from each
other (place shift).
O Examples:
O Audio/video conferencing
O Online chat
O Instant Messaging
O Live Webcasting

4. ASYNCHRONOUS
O In Asynchronous Learning the Facilitator
prepares the courseware materials before the
course takes place.
O The learner is free to decide when he wants to
study the courseware.
O Examples:
O Email
O Threaded Discussion boards
O Web-based Training
O DVD

5. Advantage of
Synchronous and
Asynchronous
Learning

6. Synchronous
O Real-Time Discussion
O Real-Time Collaboration
O Immediate Feedback
O Cost Effective
O Facilitator can gauge understanding of
concepts
O Motivation to complete assignments
course

7. Asynchronous
OAnytime-anywhere Learning
OAccess materials when
convenient
OOpportunity to research
answers
OCan express thoughts without
any interruptions

14. OVirtual Learning Environment
allows learners and those
engaged in education and
teaching to free themselves from
the limitations of time and space,
and carry out learning
interactions in a flexible
timeframe and at “ virtual sites”
that are not physically tied to one
another.

15. OComputer technology has
made people and
information sources of
information universally
“accessible” and “available”
at any place and at any
time.
