Why it is said that it doesn’t necessary?

So we have the so-called synchronous and asynchronous learning that will be discuss later.
Which serves as options for the students.

What Is Synchronous Learning?

Synchronous learning happens in real time. This means that you, your
classmates, and your instructor interact in a specific virtual place at a set
time. In these courses, instructors commonly take attendance, same as
they would in a lecture hall. Common methods of synchronous online
learning include video conferencing, teleconferencing, live chatting, and
live-streamed lectures that must be viewed in real time.

What are the advantages of synchronous learning?

 Classroom Engagement
If you like active discussion, immediate feedback, and personal
interactions with peers and instructors, you’ll probably prefer a
synchronous learning experience. This format can be especially helpful if
you’re just beginning the transition from a traditional classroom to an
online setting. Live videoconferencing, lecture broadcasts, and chatting in
real time in a messaging client can offer much of the personal
engagement available in a classroom, while also allowing you the
comforts of home and no commute time. Plus, you won't ever have to
worry about germs during cold and flu season.

 Dynamic Learning
For some learning styles, a synchronous online format is actually an
improvement over classroom learning because it allows for a more
dynamic exploration of topics, ideas, and concepts. There is a speed and
immediacy to synchronous online learning; videoconferencing makes it
possible to ask peers and TAs questions and receive answers mid-
lesson, and not being in a lecture hall means you can do your own
research on the side without disrupting class. If you thrive at a swift pace,
surrounded by competing and complementary ideas, a synchronous
format might suit you well.
 Instructional Depth
With synchronous online learning, you interact regularly and frequently
with your professors and can get to know them. This provides regular
opportunities for face-to-face discussion, individual guidance, and
mentorship without having to schedule independent appointments. If you
do your best work when you have accessible and supportive instruction,
you’re probably a synchronous learner.
What are the disadvantages of synchronous learning?

 Rigid Schedule
If you’ve chosen online learning because of your hectic and unpredictable
work schedule, synchronous learning may cause problems. If your job as
a registered nurse keeps you on call at strange hours, or your parenting
responsibilities render you fully occupied during the day time, or your
hobby as an amateur storm-chaser means that you have to be ready to
roll at a moment’s notice, you may have a hard time keeping up with the
set schedule of a synchronous online course. If flexibility is the number
one reason that you’ve chosen the online route, having to adapt to a
synchronous learning schedule may defeat the purpose.

 Technical Difficulties
If your work or life requires extensive travel and you often find yourself
completing coursework in weird places like coffee shops, airport
terminals, and hotel lobbies, synchronous learning might add to your
stress. The constant search for a wireless signal becomes even more
dire when you’re on the clock for a videoconference, lecture, or even an
exam. For synchronous learners, technical difficulties like spotty internet,
crashing hard drives, and dying batteries can become full-fledged, GPA-
tanking disasters. Instead of logging in and sitting for your exam, you can
end up sputtering profanities at your computer. And who has the time for
that?

What is Asynchronous Learning?

Asynchronous learning happens on your schedule. While your course of
study, instructor, or program will provide materials for reading, lectures for
viewing, assignments for completing, and exams for evaluation, you can
access and satisfy these requirements on your own schedule, so long as
you meet the expected deadlines. Common methods of asynchronous
online learning include self-guided lesson modules, pre-recorded video
content, virtual libraries, lecture notes, and online discussion boards or
social media platforms.

What are the advantages of asynchronous learning?

 Flexibility
If you have a demanding schedule or keep weird hours, you’re probably
an asynchronous learner. In these programs, materials are freely
available — usually within a set period, like a week or two — so you can
access them when it best suits your scheudle, even if it's in the middle of
the night. Materials can include text-based lecture notes; self-guided,
interactive learning modules; or pre-recorded lectures and podcasts. You
can complete a module on the train ride to work; listen to a lecture on
headphones while your baby naps; or work the graveyard shift, sleep until
noon, and take a pop quiz over brunch. Asynchronous learning gives you
the materials so that you can complete them at your convenience.

 Pacing
One of the most empowering features of asynchronous learning is that
you set the pace (usually within set deadlines). You can read and review
materials as much as you need to, completing them based on your
understanding rather than on when class time ends. If you’re a quick
learner, you can power through materials and units that come easily to
you. If it takes you longer to absorb new knowledge, you can review
information, take notes, and practice retention without worrying about
falling behind your classmates or missing key points in a lecture.

 Affordability
If a major motivating factor for you in choosing online education is
affordability, fully asynchronous programs are among your best options.
Online learning options like massive online open courses (MOOCs) often
carry a lower price tag because they don't require daily attention from
instructors or administrators. Instead, students work through the content
themselves, with only occasional interaction with instructors through email
or social media. Self-guided modules, video tutorials, and virtual libraries
all offer you the chance to pursue your education with minimal oversight
and expense. While most of these programs don't lead to degrees, there
are some that do, and they can also include certification opportunities.

 Isolation
If you like the personal touch and do your best when you feel like people
are actually listening, asynchronous learning can be a lonely experience.
Social media and email simply aren’t a substitute for real-time interaction.
Asynchronous learning is also far less collaborative that its counterparts:
Opportunities to discuss, debate, and network with classmates and
professors are scarce. Asynchronous learning is great when you want to
pick up skills quickly, but if you’re looking for enrichment of discussion,
feedback, and social interaction, asynchronous learning likely isn't for
you.

 Risk of Apathy
While working in a self-guided environment can be empowering, it’s
important to be honest with yourself. Do you have the drive to not only
keep yourself on track and committed to your goals, but also to remain
enthusiastic about the subject matter without the constant support and
evaluation of an instructor? The reality is that some learners do best with
clearly stated expectations, immediate feedback, and a watchful eye. If
you’re in the latter category, the free-form nature of asynchronous
learning could be demotivating.
The coolest thing about online learning is that you don’t have to choose
just one way of doing it. Many online college courses use a mix of
sychronous and asynchronous learning, combining real-time
conferencing with self-paced assignments, or balancing pre-taped
lectures with live discussion sessions. Every online education model is
different, and the very best online colleges use the best of both models to
produce enriching online education experiences.
