led learning
-Preferred
for online use
Disadvantages of:
Synchronous Learning Asynchronous Learning

Summary of Selected Asynchronous Delivery
Medium
Team
C chose this mode, the blog, because it was the most user friendly and
offered the better organization for our topic.
The use of the blog will allow for others to add information, make
suggestions, or ask questions regarding the content shown.
Why
choice is appropriate
This
choice is appropriate because it allows for linking to other topics and
embedding of multimedia tools. These can
be added by others as well as the original creators/designers. The information can be updated and added to
with ease by the users.
How
this delivery mode can be applied
This
mode of delivery can be applied to our teaching environment easily as a
resource. It can also be changed in content to relate to any subject. The tool will afford the learner the
opportunity to add information, make suggestions, or ask questions. It will also increase the collaboration
between the learner and instructor and the learner to learner.
Explanation
of topic in synchronous medium
A
synchronous medium that would prove to be useful would be instant messaging
(IM). Instant messaging would give the
learner instant feedback and immediate access to the instructor. This synchronous medium would give the
learner the semblance of face-to-face instruction. It is very relative for the visual
learner. This medium will help guide the
learner in a successful experience with distance learning.
