Synchronous and Asynchronous are different learning delivery methods that due to the uniqueness of each one they can be associated with students' learning styles and personalities. The synchronous method requires forums to be conducted at specific times where the educator and the students will connect to an online site simultaneously. This learning delivery method allows students to interact among themselves and the educator simultaneously through live meeting, chats, videos, and share voice. The synchronous learning methods allows the courses to be delivered in real time.
The Asynchronous learning delivery method tends to be more centered on the student complexities that life brings. This method provides for a learning environment that is available at any time, and anywhere. The students and educator are not required to be connected simultaneously. The asynchronous learning delivery method is known for containing prerecorded lectures, audio, and video components.
While both learning delivery methods offer certain advantages and disadvantages they may not fit every student. Students must consider which method would be best depending on their learning style and personality.
