asynchronous learning
Non-simultaneous student instruction
Asynchronous learning is education that doesn't happen in real time—students access materials and complete work on their own schedules rather than attending live sessions.
Online courses with recorded lectures and discussion boards are typical examples: The program uses asynchronous learning so students can study after work.
The opposite is synchronous learning, where everyone participates simultaneously.
