Asynchronous:
|
self paced so that students can move through the material at their own speed and rewatch lessons as needed to develop mastery. This allows for more time to reflect and process information if needed. Material can be reviewed anytime. Gives students an opportunity to be “offline” and engage in pencil and paper tasks.
|
|
Synchronous
|
Provides students with real time connection to the teacher. Questions can be asked and concepts clarified on the spot. Feedback is immediate. Collaboration and communication with peers is possible.
