We live in a digital world that allows our students to access information 24/7. Why not use that to your advantage by teaching your students asynchronously?
Asynchronous learning is a student-centered teaching approach that employs a wide variety of web, mobile, and cloud-based tools outside of regular school hours, thus removing the constraints of time and place. The tools at your disposal are many: social media, mobile applications, collaborative communication, learning objects, blogs, and beyond.
In this webinar, we will explore the benefits and risks in asynchronous teaching, as well as the positive impact it can have on students’ lives. The webinar will also include details on how to integrate these tools into any language-learning curricula.
