Abstract

Asynchronous online learning has increased access to education for millions of people in developed nations, and the next step is to expand educational access for billions more in developing countries. The problem is that flaws in asynchronous delivery will result in unacceptably high failure rates for students with limited English fluency and different educational backgrounds. There will also be cultural issues that inhibit student success in asynchronous delivery. This chapter reviews the limitations of asynchronous learning and discusses synchronous solutions that can improve student success and satisfaction by reducing isolation and improving student support.
