What does 'Asynchronous Learning' mean?

Asynchronous learning refers to modes of education, instruction, and learning that do not take place at the same time or in the same place. The phrase is most typically given to various forms of digital and online learning in which students learn from teachings that are not presented in person or in real-time, such as taped video classes or game-based learning assignments that students complete on their own. Asynchronous learning, on the other hand, can refer to a wide range of educational activities, such as email exchanges between teachers, online discussion boards, and course administration systems that arrange instructional materials and correspondence, among many other possibilities.
