Learning Methodologies

There are learning methodologies that are computer based (online learning) and that can be presented as follows :

1. Synchronous learning: Real-time, instructor-led, online learning in which all participants are logged on at the same time and communicate directly with each other and the instructor through the computer.
2. Asynchronous learning: This is a partially self-paced learning model where learners access programs on-line at different times. This type may have the participation of an instructor or facilitation via bulletin boards and/or chat rooms or email.
3. Self-paced learning: The learner studies material on-line and does not interact with the instructor. ^[1]
