Synchronous or Asynchronous Online Learning?

This workshop focuses on asynchronous online learning — where learners do not have to be together at the same time. Learning that takes place through real-time video or web conferencing tools (e.g. Zoom) is more like face-to-face instruction rather than asynchronous online courses.

QM doesn't currently provide quality assurance for synchronous online learning environments, but we are examining what is working well according to research-supported best practices. In the meantime, please check out Contact Nord's webinar on Teaching Effectively with Zoom.
