Traditionally, real-time synchronous learning experiences have been historically most prevalent in training, education, and instructional design. However, with the advancement of technology and the increase in remote work opportunities, the exploration of asynchronous, self-paced learning has begun to grow, leading to the question - which type of learning is best for collaborative and social learning? Is it even possible to have effective collaborative learning experiences without hosting live sessions in real time?

A panel of experts in collaborative learning explored these questions. Join the discussion with Amy Stefanski from Mural and Reed Dickson from Pima Community College and discover how to determine which approach will be best for your learners and how to implement each approach effectively.

In addition to a webinar recording, you’ll get access to additional resources and activities that will advance your ability to apply what you learn.

Why take this micro course on real-time vs self-paced learning?

While real-time learning has a traditional foundation in both education and corporate training, there are significant benefits in the flexibility of asynchronous learning experiences.

As instructional designers, we have to support change through learning while considering the impact of those changes.

This micro course explores:

  • Differences between real-time and self-paced learning
  • Advantages and disadvantages of each
  • How to effectively implement strategies to support collaborative learning in both

You’ll also get access to Eduflow Academy’s exclusive Slack community when you join the course.
