In reply to AKM.

Some of both AKM. It is course by course. And sometimes some of both in a given course. So this is whats known as synchronous or asynchronous learning. I learned these terms about a week ago :) In Synchronous learning, as a student, you have to watch a lecture at a certain time. It's live. You are able to interact with your students about the answers. The teacher is also able to read your answers immediately and to interact with the students during this lecture. The type of lecture has to be given online.

Asynchronous learning
On the other hand, imagine you are able to watch the lecture at your own pace. You can't discuss your answers with your classmates in real time. This type of lecture can be given offline.

Make sense?

I know heavy stuff. See, you are learning asynchronously by reading this online. We are not live. We're not going back and forth instantly. If we were chatting on what's app or whatever in real time we would be in "synch" and then this would be synchronous learning... got it?
