Build your Virtual Classroom
Determine your Video Conferencing Platform
Key Terminology
Comprehensive Distance Learning (CDL): Students attend school in a fully virtual classroom. Instruction may be synchronous or asynchronous.
Blended Learning: Students attend school in person and the teacher leverages technology tools to amplify learning.
Concurrent/Hyflex Learning: Some students attend class face to face while others attend via video conferencing tools.
Asynchronous Learning
Occurring at different times and in different places (e.g., students working at home).
Students can access content, resources, activities at any time, and from anywhere.
Students can control the time, place, and pace of their learning.
Students work independently to complete assignments and tasks.
Synchronous Learning
Occurring at the same time and in the same place (e.g., students working in the classroom or meeting online for a video conference session.
Students can access content, resources, and activities at a specific time and location.
Students may have some control over the pace of their learning, but they do not control the time or the place.
Students have access to teacher and peer support while completing assignments and tasks.
