Synchronous vs Assynchronous online content: Synchronous is live or on real-time content and encounters with students/teachers
Assynchronous is not conducted on real-time but rather is pre-recorded, pre-posted content with deadlines for students to be able to access on-demand at their convenience
Advantages and disadvantages:
Synchronous online learning is more engaging; real feedback is obtained and interaction can be easily waged.
