What is Asynchronous Learning?
Before exploring resources and examples of good asynchronous learning, it is crucial to understand what asynchronous learning is. Asynchronous Learning is defined as "forms of education, instruction, and learning that do not occur in the same place or at the same time" (Ed Glossary). This is most seen in methods of online learning in which students learn from instruction. Asynchronous Learning may take place as:
Online discussion boards
Viewing pre-recorded lessons or lectures
Game-based learning tasks
Collaborative documents in the cloud
