<p>In this section I was reminded of the differences between synchronous and asynchronous instruction. Although group synchronous sessions are not encouraged; I understand how necessary it is to have one-on-one synchronous sessions when the need to clarify lessons or content confusion needs to be clarified. I learned the need to keep these sessions well-organized and brief with engaging prompts and positive feedback as well as gentle positive or constructive criticism. I often use humor to engage students and was glad to see this is a recommended strategy.</p>
