E-learning terminology

Asynchronous learning allows students to carry out activities in the educational process at different times, unlike synchronous learning, in which all students are required to attend a certain lecture or exercise, write a test, take an exam, etc. at the same time. Although the time available to students is not unlimited, but the teacher defines a certain period in which the activity must be completed, students still have the flexibility to organize their time and obligations within that period.

Examples of asynchronous learning in classical teaching are reading books, doing homework, preparing a project assignment or seminar, while in online and hybrid teaching, examples of asynchronous teaching are the use of digital teaching materials, solving online tests, communicating via forums, etc.
