DISADVANTAGES
OF SYNCHRONOUS
Reliance on Technology
While modern digital technology has helped to
facilitate synchronous distance education, over-
reliance on this technology can also potentially be
a disadvantage. Synchronous sessions often rely
on things like video conferencing, which is hugely
reliant on having enough bandwidth to support it.
SYNCHRONOUS DISTANCE
LEARNING
In this digital age where technology is
increasingly shaping our lives, the
significance and relevance of
synchronous distance learning cannot
be overstated. It's not just a temporary
solution for extraordinary
circumstances, but a viable and
increasingly popular mode of
education for the future.
ASYNCHRONOUS
In asynchronous distance learning,
students can learn at their own pace and on
their own schedule. They have the flexibility
to access learning materials and complete
assignments whenever it is convenient for
them. There is no requirement for real-time
interaction with teachers or classmates.
