Asynchronous learning allows students to work within a framework that the instructor has specified within a given time frame. Blogging is an example of asynchronous learning. Asynchronous learning provides both the student and the instructor flexibility in many ways. Time is a very valuable thing and choosing the time of day that is best for you to work on assignments or grade assignments is made possible by asynchronous learning opportunities. Being organized and managing time wisely are necessary for asynchronous learning.
Synchronous learning allows all participants to come together at the same time to interact together at the same time. There are several technologies available that provide online learners and instructors to collaborate. Synchronous learning helps students devote a certain amount of time to the class or lesson. It provides great opportunity for discussion, debate or lecture. In my opinion, a combination (hybrid) of the two would provide the best opportunity for online learning.
