I learned that the key to an engaging course and good course design would be to include elements from both synchronous and asynchrnous activities. The ideal course would be the appropriate mix of both, dependent on the assignments.

 

There are two general ways of running a class: synchronous and asynchronous. There are multiple advantages and disadvantages to both, and as an instructor, I'll use whichever one is most appropriate for the subject.

 

This was a good topic, but it could have been longer.
