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.
