Synchronous and Asynchronous learning both have their pros and cons. When deciding which approach to take, you really have to look into what your course needs to successfully teach students. In my program, Computer Aided Drafting and Design, I believe we could benefit from a blend of the two. Starting off synchronous to get new students used to the LMS and the applications used in the program and moving to more and more asynchronous learning as students become more confident with the applications and techniques.
