Synchronous and asynchronous learning occurs through technology-enabled tools with or without real-time interaction. Many hybrid learning models will include a blend of both asynchronous and synchronous online learning.

Asynchronous

The teacher and the student(s) are providing and accessing learning materials at different times. Examples could include posting of screencasts or pre-video recorded learning materials and posting them to the VLE or Google Classroom.

Synchronous

The teacher and the student(s) are interacting and providing/accessing learning materials at the same time. Examples could include phone conversations or video conferencing (VLE, Google Meets).
