Remote Synchronous and Asynchronous Learning Design – Primary
Synchronous teaching and learning refers to a situation where we, as practitioners, are present at the same time. Classroom learning is an example of this.
Synchronous teaching and learning can also take place online. This is also called distance synchronous teaching and learning, which means that we are present at the same time as our learners but we are not in the same location. Videoconferencing or live chat are often used in this situation.
Asynchronous distance teaching and learning refers to a situation where we are not present at the same time or in the same location as our learners. In this situation, we need to provide resources for learners so they can learn in their own time.
Asynchronous distance learning and teaching can include using:
- digital resources and tools such as videos, podcasts and forums
- non-digital resources and tools, such as paper resources
