The benefits of synchronous learning

 Interaction between participants.

 Exchange of knowledge and experience between participants.

 Real-time feedback for the instructor.

 Training happens on a fixed schedule.

2- Asynchronous learning

 Learning that doesn’t necessarily happen at the same time for the

instructor and the learners. There’s no real-time interaction; the content

is created and made available for consumption later on.

For example:

 Audio-cassette.

 Video-cassette.

 E-mail.

 Message board forums.

 Printed materials.

 Voice mail \fax.

The benefits of asynchronous learning

 Participants can learn in their own time and schedule

 Less work for trainers and HR managers
