When instructors and learners participate in real-time learning sessions, it’s termed as synchronous learning. Its scope ranges from face-to-face classroom sessions to live online learning. With a wealth of simple yet versatile synchronous eLearning tools, our Virtual Classroom software lets you ace your eLearning sessions.
What is synchronous learning?
It refers to a learning exercise where instructor and learners engage in real-time learning sessions. Students that participate in a synchronous class are able to interact with instructors and other students – either in face-to-face classroom sessions or through synchronous eLearning tools such as videoconferencing and instant messaging. Thus, synchronous learning could be classified as offline and online. While the offline mode, like face-to-face classroom teaching, has been there since the very start, instructor-lead online training has advanced with technology and is now bringing a paradigm shift in the way we learn.
In asynchronous learning, students can learn the same course content at different times and locations. Learners complete the course at their own pace after accessing the course material provided by their instructor. While asynchronous learning classes are flexible since they are not time-bound, live classes get you instant feedback, promote collaboration and foster a sense of community in learners.
When compared with asynchronous learning, synchronous online learning helps to minimize the “Transactional Distance” thus reducing learner’s feelings of isolation and disconnectedness.
Get higher ROI with synchronous eLearning
In synchronous online learning, course content is shared real-time via virtual classrooms, video conferences, live chats, webinars etc. while in offline classes, teachers and students have to be present at the same location in a physical classroom setup when you want to take offline learning delivery online. Synchronous online learning helps you save time, cost and efforts:
- No geographical constraints come in the way of your sessions
- Recorded sessions can be reused in future classes
- Save cost of printing your online course content
- Zero expenses in travel, accommodation and setting up a classroom
- Lower cost barriers and higher return on your investment
