Asynchronous learning is a correct and usable term in written English.
Asynchronous learning occurs when students learn materials independently and at a time flexible to them, usually through online formats. For example, "The college offers a variety of asynchronous learning options, such as online courses and self-paced modules."
The purpose of this study was to integrate asynchronous learning technology with teaching strategies on observation and writing into a teacher education method course.
The present study intends to examine students' asynchronous learning processes via an Educational Data Mining approach using data extracted from the Moodle logs of students who were grouped according to similar behaviors regarding effort, time spent working, and procrastination.
Instead of choosing between the different types of learning systems, it is better to use a mixed system by combining different types of learning and providing support for both synchronous and asynchronous learning.
While students were allowed to perform asynchronous learning in teams, each had to log on to document enrollment in each module to receive course credit.
Finally this study shows that workplace learners can be better served by e-learning environments rather than conventional training as they allow asynchronous learning and private study which are valued by employees who have other demands on their time and are more comfortable receiving tuition privately.
In fact, the institute's philosophy of "asynchronous" learning, which says that "students are not required to be in a particular place at a particular time," is one of its most attractive aspects.
Some studies have compared students' learning experiences in online courses (e.g., Hiltz et al. [J. Asynchronous Learn. Networks 4 (2000).]; Wegner et al. [J. Asynchronous Learn. Networks 3 (1999).]; Ernest & Federico [J. Asynchronous Learn. Networks 4 (2000).]; Fallah & Ubell [ALN Mag. 4 (2000).]; Watters [J. Educ. Bus. 75 (2000).]).]
Many studies have examined the designs of online courses (e.g., Human & Kilbourne [J. Manage. Educ. 23 (1999).]; St. Pierre [WebNet J. (1999, July September).]; Chuang [Interact. Multimedia Electron. J. Comput.-Enhanced Learn. 1 (1999).]; Thompson & McGrath [J. Asynchronous Learn. Networks 3 (1999).]; Leon & Parr [Am. Stat. 54 (2000).]; Kaynama & Keesling [J. Mark. Educ. 22 (2000).]).]
The research part of the article investigates the opportunities of asynchronous education, analyses the learning experience and underlines the main difficulties for engineers taking an asynchronous distance learning course.
Six out of eighteen chapters from the digital learning material were selected and arranged for asynchronous distance learning.
Asuncion, Smyth and Welling proposed asynchronous distributed learning algorithms for LDA and Hierarchical Dirichlet Process (HDP) in which processors independently perform Gibbs sampling on their local data and communicate their information in a local asynchronous manner with other processors [18].
