What is Asynchronous Instruction?  


Peer to Peer
Asynchronous instruction allows learners to exchange ideas peer to peer, but not simultaneously.

Examples
Asynchronous tools include Bulletin Boards and Forums where learners:

  • post ideas on an assigned topic,
  • read comments posted by others, and
  • reply with their own ideas.

As these interchanges continue, a threaded discussion emerges.
