What is asynchronous and synchronous learning?

Synchronous learning happens at specific times and learners participate in real-time. An in-person day of learning at CTC is an example of synchronous learning.

Asynchronous learning takes place at the location and pace of the learner’s choosing. Watching a pre-recorded video lesson and completing an online assignment from home is one example of asynchronous learning.

What is the purpose of asynchronous learning?

In order for students to be ready - Career Ready. College Ready. Life Ready. - in the 21st century they will be required to learn via multiple platforms and through multiple ways.

Asynchronous days allow students to begin to learn in an independent and self-directed manner, while still receiving instruction from teachers.

Staff use this time to develop lessons, learn new technology, grade assignments, plan Future Ready Friday activities, or participate in professional development.

Asynchronous learning at SCCTC

Students will have assignments and work to complete. Students must complete assignments and submit them on time to receive credit for attendance. Assignments must be submitted by midnight on the Sunday after the Asynchronous Day.

Example: All work assigned for the Asynchronous Day on Friday, September 1 must be completed and submitted by midnight on Sunday, September 3.

Instructors will be available, by email, during regular school hours on the Asynchronous Day to answer questions and provide assistance.

If students do not complete the assignments, they will be marked as an unexcused absence.
