This week we talked about asynchronous learning versus synchronous learning. I have only experience asynchronous learning but I feel that synchronous learning environment has its advantages too. Distance education provides the flexibility to learning any place and time. It also provides students to also meet in real time without having to drive to class. These types of learning environment over the years have allowed array of people to start to continue their education. I think no matter which type of leaning environment a person chooses if they are willing they will be successful either way.
My experiences have been good as an asynchronous learner. It has worked out well for me for the last couple years. I like that idea that I can come online at any time that are convenient for me through the allowed time for course week. I am able to review the work of my classmate’s comments. I can also see what my instructor may want to see as answers. These types of observations can usually help me with other assignments throughout the course. I think students in asynchronous need additional support of their instructor because of the individual process but at the same time the support will allow a student remain confident in learning their materials so they can knowledgeable in their subject.
