eLearning: Asynchronous Vs. Synchronous
Now
-a- days, education or learning is much easier for the massive
development of technology. Simply, elearning is training provided via
computer or other digital device, allowing technology to facilitate
learning anytime, anywhere.
Asynchronous
eLearning allows people to take courses at any place at their own time
and pace.Video Tutorial, ebook, M.C.Q.or puzzle solving etc. are some of
the examples of asynchronous elearning.This is self study method;
learners collect resources from internet or any other digital medium and
learn those resources on their convenient time. In this method, no real
time conversation with instructor occurs.
Synchronous
eLearning, on the other hand, requires an instructor and occurs in
real time. In other words, synchronous eLearning is similar to a regular
classroom experience except learners can take courses at any place,
assuming a computer and Internet connection are available.
When
it comes to learners’ preferences, the best delivery method often
depends on their learning styles. Younger generations tend to enjoy
asynchronous courses better because they are so used to all the
“clicking” on computers and their mobile phones that learning on their
computer at their own pace is like a second nature to them. Generations
that grew up without computers, the Internet, or smartphones typically
prefer synchronous eLearning experiences in which they are able to ask
questions and participate in real time.
In order for an online course to be successful, it must be interesting and engaging to learners.To
increase students success in classroom, I address multiple learning
styles and ensure that all auditory, visual, and kinesthetic learners
are able to fully participate in the learning experience.
