Synchronous and Asynchronous Content
Synchronous
| Pros | Cons |
| Class Discussions | Requires Fast Connectivity |
| Saves Travel Time / To/From Class | Fast-Paced |
| Visual Learning Opportunities | In-Flexible Schedule |
| More Structure | Technology Malfunctions / Glitches |
Asynchronous
| Pros | Cons |
| Equal Participation / Less Pressure | Lack of Face-to-Face Time |
| Flexible Schedule | Less Structure |
| Saves Travel Time / To/From Class | Requires More Discipline |
| More Time to Review Material | No Immediate Feedback |
As you read these lists, a con I have listed, may seem like a pro for you or vice-versa. That tends to be the case with synchronous and asynchronous learning. Each learner must choose which style works best for them or engage in a course that uses mixed-methods with asynchronous with some synchronous meetings.
