Rapid eLearning Delivery Methods
..................................................................................................................................
Both Synchronous and Asynchronous delivery
methods are used for Rapid eLearning.
- Synchronous training is when students
and teachers meet at a specific time and the teacher leads
the training session.
a. Synchronous eLearning is similar
to traditional classroom training.
b. Typically the students and instructor
are on a conference call, log onto the same web page,
or log onto an online white board facility.
c. Power Point is the authoring tool
of choice for Synchronous eLearning sessions.
d. Most synchronous delivery systems
include a shared white board for viewing Power Point
presentations or for allow the teacher to let everyone
else view their desktop. The teacher controls the slide
or white board while the student listens to the lecture
and views the white board or slide from their computer.
- Asynchronous is when training material
is made available on the web and students access it as
needed.
a. Asynchronous training is student
guided.
b. Asynchronous eLearning is a course
that resides on the internet, available to students
when the student is free to be trained, 24 hours a day
seven days a week.
c. Power Point is a poor choice for
asynchronous training since it does not provide the
breadth and depth of information necessary for material
to stand on it's own.
