💧Synchronous Tools : Examples of synchronous e-learning are online
chat and videoconferencing. Any learning tool that is in real-time, such as
instant messaging that allows students and teachers to ask and answer questions
immediately, is synchronous. Rather than learning on their own, students who
participate in synchronous learning courses are able to interact with other
students and their teachers during the lesson.
The main benefit of synchronous learning is that it enables
students to avoid feelings of isolation since they are in communication with
others throughout the learning process. However synchronous learning is not as
flexible in terms of time as students would have to set aside a specific time
slot in order to attend a live teaching session or online course in real-time.
So it may not be ideal for those who already have busy schedules.
💧Asynchronous Tools : Asynchronous learning on the other hand can be
carried out even when the student or teacher is offline. Coursework and
communications delivered via web, email and messages posted on community forums
are perfect examples of asynchronous e-learning. In these instances, students
will typically complete the lessons on their own and merely use the internet as
a support tool rather than venturing online solely for interactive classes.
A student is able to follow the curriculum at their own pace
without having to worry about scheduling conflicts. This may be a perfect
option for users who enjoy taking their time with each lesson plan in the
curriculum and would prefer to research topics on their own. However, those who
lack the motivation to do the coursework on their own may find that they do not
receive significant benefit from asynchronous learning. Asynchronous learning
can also lead to feelings of isolation, as there is no real interactive
educational environment.
