Over the last two years, so much about the way that we learn has been turned upside down. Traditional, in-person classroom training went virtual, and scheduling a live session became more complicated than ever. The upside is that it prompted many to reconsider their learning strategy and how to best leverage synchronous vs asynchronous learning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve delved into the differences between <\/span>synchronous<\/span><\/a> learning vs <\/span>asynchronous<\/span><\/a> learning before and thought through the pros and cons of each. Here\u2019s the quick recap: <\/span>synchronous learning<\/span> happens when people are learning the same thing at the same time\u2014think traditional classrooms with a teacher or facilitator, live virtual sessions held via video call, and other forms of learning where the teacher and learners are on the same schedule and knowledge transfer happens in real-time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Asynchronous learning happens when people are learning the same things but at different times. That\u2019s key to understanding asynchronous learning vs. synchronous learning: asynchronous learning does not require that learners show up, log in, or participate at a specific time. There aren\u2019t virtual lectures or scheduled class periods that the learners must attend\u2014instead, learners access materials independently and at their own pace.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, what is synchronous and asynchronous learning? When should you opt for synchronous learning and when is it best to take an asynchronous approach? And how can the two work together to create an effective blended learning experience?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How to best leverage synchronous learning<\/h2>\n

Synchronous learning is a classic for a reason: there are plenty of instances where live, real-time learning can\u2019t be beat. There\u2019s often a benefit to being together with learners at the same time. It\u2019s a matter of asking yourself the right questions to determine if synchronous learning is the best fit for your material\u2014and how to make the most of your time together when you do opt for a real-time experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is synchronous learning right for? Here are some questions to gut-check if synchronous learning is necessary, and if you\u2019re prepared to deliver the best experience possible (especially if it\u2019s a virtual session!):<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Why does everyone need to be together at the same time?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Since we’re all together, how might we interact as much as possible?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. As much as being a teacher is important, how can I serve as an effective host?<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Am I prepared for potential logistics problems?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Once you\u2019ve done the legwork to ensure you\u2019re ready to deliver a quality synchronous learning experience, here\u2019s a quick rundown of the kind of learning material that is well-suited to synchronous learning.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Active learning<\/span><\/h3>\n

    Active learning calls for learners to directly interact with the learning process\u2014think experiential learning like group discussions, demonstrations, and hands-on activities. These traditional classroom activities are a natural fit for synchronous learning, but they don\u2019t necessarily require in-person learning. Virtual classrooms can leverage tools like breakout rooms and digital whiteboards to facilitate meaningful active learning that gets learners interacting with and learning from one another.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Is this active learning?<\/span><\/h4>\n

    Not sure if your learning material is active or passive? Here\u2019s a quick tip to differentiate one from the other: consider the ratio of how much your learners are producing versus consuming. Say your lesson plan involves students working together to produce and share a presentation, or participating in a demonstration of a new procedure. In both cases, it’s the right call to get together as a group in real-time.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Teaching concepts<\/span><\/h3>\n

    If your learning experience involves the kind of active learning exercises mentioned above, there\u2019s a good chance you\u2019re teaching a concept. Concepts are ideas that need to be understood, not memorized. Collaboration and engagement are valuable tools to facilitate learning a new concept, and it\u2019s a great reason to bring a group together for synchronous learning. Synchronous vs asynchronous learning also allows learners to participate in real-time Q&A and receive instant feedback from teachers, which can accelerate their understanding and improve learning outcomes.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Practicing procedures<\/span><\/h3>\n

    Need to teach your learners a new procedure or protocol? Usually, that means it\u2019s time to bring the group together. It takes practice and repetition to perfect a procedure\u2014a synchronous session is a great opportunity to hold a live demonstration and follow it up with some active learning exercises to encourage <\/span>application and reflection<\/span><\/a>. Send your learners into small groups or pairs to replicate the demonstration and practice executing it themselves. This also encourages more informal peer-to-peer learning and knowledge sharing.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Common pitfalls with synchronous learning<\/span><\/h2>\n

    Just because you can host a real-time learning session doesn\u2019t mean you should. Synchronous learning is often the default, but it\u2019s worth it to take a step back and consider the pros and cons of synchronous vs asynchronous learning. Ask yourself if the material truly requires everyone to be together as a group, and revisit the reflective questions we shared earlier to help clarify if synchronous learning is the right fit.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Once planning for your synchronous session is underway, be sure to avoid the \u201ctalking head\u201d syndrome that plagues many traditional classroom settings. Especially if you\u2019re attempting to recreate an in-person classroom virtually, many make the mistake of commanding all of the time to rattle off slides and information-dump. Instead, be sure to plan for interaction, brush up on your hosting and moderating skills, and, of course, find a quiet place with a solid internet connection for hosting your session.<\/span><\/p>\n

    How to best leverage asynchronous learning<\/span><\/h2>\n

    We\u2019ve all attended a meeting that could\u2019ve been an email\u2014and every learner has attended a training about something they could\u2019ve learned on their own. Asynchronous time is individual time, and we see it used effectively in virtually every discipline. College students complete readings and write papers outside of the classroom. Musicians practice scales on their own. Athletes independently study film of their opponents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Asynchronous learning allows learners to complete assigned tasks on their own time and at their own pace. This approach saves time (and often money) and protects the individual\u2019s autonomy to learn in a way that works best for them. So, when considering synchronous vs asynchronous learning, when is asynchronous the best choice? What is asynchronous learning right for? And what are some best practices for effectively leveraging this style of learning?<\/span><\/p>\n

    Learning facts<\/span><\/h3>\n

    Let\u2019s return to the content ratio concept we talked about earlier in the \u201cIs this active learning?\u201d section\u2014it\u2019ll help clarify whether to choose synchronous learning vs asynchronous learning. If your learning material requires listening to presentations, watching videos,\u00a0 and reviewing slide decks, then your lesson plan has a higher ratio of consumption for learners. Whenever you need learners to consume information, that\u2019s another way of saying it\u2019s passive learning. In that case, you\u2019ll likely want to opt for asynchronous learning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Individual work gives learners the freedom and flexibility to learn and digest new information at their own pace and revisit information to delve deeper as needed. This way of learning puts the responsibility on the individual to do the work, and depending on the work environment and availability of your learners, that\u2019s definitely worth considering.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Developing a shared foundation<\/span><\/h3>\n

    They say content is king but with asynchronous learning, curation is king. You can leverage asynchronous learning to build a shared foundation of knowledge with your group of learners. By assigning learners reading materials, training videos, and practice exercises, you can ensure everyone is building a common foundation of facts and information. This approach also allows learners to self-pace: they\u2019ll spend less time on topics they grasp quickly and more time on topics that challenge them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Especially if you\u2019re using it as pre-work for a larger curriculum, this approach is helpful in assessing your group\u2019s knowledge to identify any gaps and actions needed. Asynchronous learning can provide valuable insights into the topics you should focus on as the curriculum progresses.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Minimizing the demand on the learner<\/span><\/h3>\n

    Plain and simple: when you don\u2019t need to be together as a group, don\u2019t be. Asynchronous learning is a learner-centered method. When you have the opportunity to respect your learners\u2019 time and autonomy, take it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Common pitfalls with asynchronous learning<\/span><\/h2>\n

    Even if you understand <\/span>the difference between synchronous and asynchronous learning, you still need to learn the pitfalls of each approach. <\/span>When it comes to asynchronous learning, it\u2019s impossible to ignore the issue of accountability. At the end of the day, you need your training to get done, and when you opt for real-time, scheduled learning, at least you know your learners will show up. <\/span>
    \n<\/span>
    \n<\/span>If you\u2019re worried that an asynchronous approach means learning won\u2019t happen, take a page (or six!) from Jeff Bezos\u2019 approach at Amazon. The company famously employs <\/span>    six-page project briefs<\/span><\/a> and schedules time for people to read them. Promote accountability by having your team members schedule time for asynchronous learning. Bonus: this practice reinforces that learning is a top priority for your organization.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    The Blended Learning Playbook: Designing Experiences That Create Change<\/h5>\n

    One of the best parts about blended learning is the creative freedom it gives learning leaders. But if you try to incorporate too many learning elements, you run the risk of confusing or overwhelming your learners. In this playbook, learn how to structure effective blended learning experiences from the ground up.<\/span><\/p>\n\nGet the guide\u2192<\/i><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    A way to think through synchronous vs asynchronous learning<\/span><\/h2>\n

    So, is it really synchronous vs asynchronous learning? Sure, in some cases it is\u2014but more often, it\u2019s a choice we make again and again, as part of a larger strategy to bring about real behavior change in our learners. It\u2019s worth considering how the two approaches can work together and complement your overall learning efforts. A blended learning strategy\u2014<\/span>a mix of synchronous and asynchronous efforts<\/span><\/a>\u2014can provide the best of both worlds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Whether you\u2019re leveraging synchronous or asynchronous learning, one approach tends to inform the other. For example, the asynchronous pre-work you assign to learners can provide important data for how you\u2019ll tailor your next live, synchronous session to deepen learning.<\/span>
    \n<\/span><\/p>\n

    Here\u2019s an example: You work for a restaurant group, and you need to train your bartenders how to make the new seasonal line of cocktails. You might start by giving your team the recipes and instructions in advance to learn and study (asynchronous learning). But in order to improve the quality of the drinks and get your bartenders comfortable with the new menu, you\u2019d then hold a real-time training with the entire team to break into small groups and practice making drinks for each other (synchronous learning). The two styles can work together to create more successful outcomes overall.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Synchronous or asynchronous, the bottom line is that a one-size-fits-all approach just doesn\u2019t cut it anymore. For learning professionals who believe in matching the right tool to the job, exploring synchronous and asynchronous learning is an exciting opportunity to meet learners where they are and create better learning experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
