student-centered teaching method that uses online learning resources
Synchronous learning:
group of people learning the same things at the same time in the same place.
ADVANTAGE OF SYNCHRONOUS LEARNING

- allows students to gain confidence and pride in their work
ADVANTAGE OF ASYNCHRONOUS LEARNING - freedom to the student to access the information and materials at any time they choose and from any location with an Internet connection - Save time and the distance is not the barrier for the student to contact with the instructor
