Synchronous versus Asynchronous
• Synchronous is an online chat at a
real time. Course participants meet
in a virtual classroom and discuss a
topic in the lesson. The teacher
facilitates the discussion in a live
class. Example: holding a live class
via Skype(video conferencing).
Synchronous versus Asynchronous
• Asynchronous is when questions or

tasks are posted and course
participants answer the questions or
post their reply at any time most
convenient to them. If LMS is not
used, it can be done in the form of a
blog or vlog. Anybody from the class
can respond or comment, thus
creating a thread.
Blended Learning
• Flexible learning could also be done by combining modalities of
instructional delivery.
• It is a combination of learning activities wherein a part of the
lesson is delivered online while the other part is handled in actual
physical setting of the classroom.
Kinds of Blended Learning
• Model 1: Face to Face Driver
- In this model, the teacher delivers
the curricula most of the time and
utilizes online learning at certain
times with the purpose to augment
or provide an alternative
experience. Instruction is provided
in a computer lab or assigned tasks
are uploaded online
• Model 2: Rotation
- Students rotate in a particular
schedule between learning online
in one to one, self paced learning
environment and being inside the
classroom with a face to face
teacher. This is the model that is
in between the traditional face to
face learning and online learning.
• Model 3: Flex
- It uses online platform most of
the course. On site support is
provided and an online tutor
facilitates the tutorial or small
group sessions. Sessions could
be synchronous or
asynchronous.
• Model 4: Online Lab
- It uses an online platform in
delivering the course but located in
a physical classroom or computer
lab. Since lessons are in modular
format and available in the online
program, teacher assistants
supervise the classes
• Model 5: Self-Blend
- Students can choose the
courses they would like to have
in addition to their brick and
mortar classes.
• Model 6: Online Driver

It utilizes a platform and a
teacher that delivers all
curricula. Students remotely
work on their program most of
the time. If ever there is face
to face component, it is made
optional.
