Synchronous vs. Asynchronous

[dfrecore]

My kid is at Purdue Global which has both; if you don't make it to "class" during the time period, then you have to write a summary to prove you watched the lesson. Needless to say, she races in to make it to class every week come hell or high water! She really doesn't care about which method, she's fine with either (she's done both).

What she DOES like though, is that she has to write a paper every week for her courses; seriously, it would kill me, but she says she feels like she learns the material much better this way.
