Interactive
In this type of learning, both parties, the instructor/expert and the students, are involved in the learning. Interactive sessions resemble more of a dialog between the two. Examples of such content include video games, high-fidelity simulations, immersive learning aids, etc.
Collaborative
This is a modern type of learning method through which multiple students learn and achieve their learning goals together as a group. This requires students to work together and practice teamwork.
Collaborative e-learning extends the idea that knowledge is best developed within a group of people where they can interact and learn from each other.
Individualized
Individualized learning in this context refers to the number of students. In individualized learning, students learn learning materials on their own (individually) and are expected to achieve learning objectives independently.
But still, this type of learning does not develop communication skills and teamwork abilities. Hence, a more modern approach is needed.
Webinars, on the other hand, for example, help you feel like part of a group (even if it’s online). A good webinar platform provides the opportunity not only to host events, but also to interact with experts and other students. We advise you not to forget about webinars no matter which online learning method you choose. A webinar can also be a great supplement to your core course.
What is synchronous online learning?
Synchronous online learning is a form of online learning that takes place in real time, where the teacher and students are connected in one virtual classroom. Video conferencing or specialized platforms for synchronous online learning are commonly used.
What is asynchronous online learning?
Asynchronous online learning is a form of learning that allows students to learn at their convenience, without being tied to a class schedule. In this case, the materials, assignments and video lessons are provided online and the learner can work on them independently. This form of learning is commonly used in online courses.
What is hybrid learning?
Hybrid learning is a form of learning that combines synchronous and asynchronous online learning as well as offline classroom learning. It usually means that students can participate in classroom activities as well as receive materials and assignments online. Hybrid learning is used in educational institutions that want to combine the benefits of traditional and online learning.
