We, as instructors, continue to play a central role even in asynchronous online learning environments, facilitating communication and ensuring students meet learning outcomes. While technology allows us to be flexible, it's crucial for us to provide structured content and promote student-to-student interaction to prevent isolation and enhance engagement. Asynchronous learning also offers students more time for reflection and creativity in their work, especially for assignments like lab tasks, but we must carefully design courses to ensure these tasks align with the desired learning outcomes and maintain quality communication.
