Week Discussion
•What are the advantages and disadvantages of synchronous and asynchronous learning in an online class with students from different professions living all over the United States – just like Ashford?
The advantages of asynchronous learning are self-motivated, work at your own pace, and don’t have to meet in a class room at a certain time, getting to meet different people all over.
