I learned that it is better to use asynchronous methods because it is more difficult to teach core concepts or new content using the "real-time" synchronous style. This eliminates the need to have all students in the learning space at the same time and lets students post and work at their own pace. Synchronous styles of learning are better suited for one-on-one situations with students, and videos enabled chat tools, like Zoom and Microsoft Teams, are a better option than a chat based system.
