Async versus Sync Teaching


  Why Different Learning Modalities Matters

Let's be honest, education has been turned upside down this past year. Who knew the term "Remote Learning" would roll off our tongues like we'd been doing it for years!

You have stepped up to this challenge in so many creative ways for your students!

When we describe remote learning today you will often hear terms like hybrid, synchronous, asynchronous, or flipped. It can all be a bit confusing.


Which one is best for your students you might ask?

Well, it depends on their age, the subject matter, and access to high bandwidth Internet to name just a few things.


 What is Covered in this Lesson

In this lesson we will define synchronous and asynchronous teaching and help you see how you might use both methods to reach all of your students.

After all, it's really all about what's best for your students. And I'll help you master the skills you need to succeed if you take on developing some asynchronous lessons or units.
