asynchronous learning

Instructional model in which the teacher or trainer and the learner(s) are not in the same place, at the same time.

Comment
  • Asynchronous learning usually takes place in online learning settings; it does not require real-time interaction. Instead, content is available online for learners to access when it best suits their schedules;
  • asynchronous online learning uses self-directed learning modules, pre-recorded lectures and podcasts, virtual libraries, lecture notes, and online discussion boards or social media platforms.
