Now -a- days, education or learning is much easier for the massive development of technology.
Simply, elearning is training provided via computer or other digital device, allowing technology to
facilitate learning anytime, anywhere.
Asynchronous eLearning allows people to take courses at any place at their own time and
pace.Video Tutorial, Text Tutorial, ebook, M.C.Q.or puzzle solving etc. are some of the examples of
asynchronous elearning.This is self study method; learners collect resources from internet or
any other digital medium and learn those resources on their convenient time. In this method, no
real time conversation with instructor occurs.
Synchronous eLearning , on the other hand, requires an instructor and occurs in real time. In
other words, synchronous eLearning is similar to a regular classroom experience except
learners can take courses at any place, assuming a computer and Internet connection are
available.
When it comes to learners’ preferences, the best delivery method often depends on their
learning styles. Younger generations tend to enjoy asynchronous courses better because they
are so used to all the “clicking” on computers and their mobile phones that learning on their
computer at their own pace is like a second nature to them. Generations that grew up without
computers, the Internet, or smartphones typically prefer synchronous eLearning experiences in
which they are able to ask questions and participate in real time.
