Comparing Synchronous & Asynchronous Learning Daniel Contreras, Latonney Gregory, Penny Hardin and Stephanie Shaw AET/531 March 11, 2012 Professor Melinda Medina
Synchronous Definition Synchronous learning, which means at the same time requires interacting with an instructor through the internet in real-time. Synchronous means that an instructor is present when the course is delivered, even though the course might be delivered remotely over the Internet. (Richard, 2009).
Asynchronous Definition Asynchronous, which means, "not at the same time," allows the learners to complete the web based training on his own time and schedule, without live interaction with the instructor. Asynchronous type classes are completely the opposite of synchronous classes which means that the instructor does not need to be present, therefore allowing learners to learn anytime, at their convenience. (Richard, 2009).
