Online Learning Models
Synchronous ClassTeacher and learners meet at the same time and delivery is live.
Asynchronous ClassIndependent of time: Teacher and learners can access the class at any time and as many times as desired. There is no “live” component therefore, any time, any place, any pace classes.
Blended ClassUsing both synchronous and asynchronous components to teaching and learning.
