Synchronous :: require students and instructors to be online at the same time. Instructions, lessons, discussions, and presentations occur at a specific time. All students must be online at that specific time in order to participate.
Examples
Google Meet live classes, for example, every student must join a Zoom call at 9:00 for a live lesson.
Students collaborating in a Google Doc/Slide at the same time
Assigned work time during a live meeting (even if they turn their camera off), For example: Work on X assignment from 11:00-11:30.
Asynchronous :: Teachers provide materials, instructions, lessons, and assignments that can be accessed over an extended period of time. Students are given a timeframe and/or due dates to complete the work and watch lessons and videos. Interactions and discussions take place using asynchronous tools like discussion boards that do not require everyone to be connected at the same time. Semi-independent
Google Meet video recordings where the lesson video is posted online, and students can watch at different times.
Students are contributing to a collaborative Google Doc/Slide at different times.
For example, Give a week’s worth of assignments at the beginning of the week, and students take ownership to complete assignments within the time frame. (Flexible work time)
