Lesson Download // Asynchronous Learning Strategies From Global Education Strategists

Asynchronous learning will continue to gain momentum into 2021. It's an effective strategy that is used to allow for student choice, place and pace in a blended instructional environment. Asynchronous Learning is an important area of focus for educators everywhere as we enter 2021 and a big theme covered at the Global EDU Summit: Jan 18-29, 2021.

Asynchronous learning strategies allow students to process information at their own pace, deepening the learning experience. These strategies:

1. Increase a learner's intrinsic motivation by providing them autonomy and ownership in the learning process
2. Drive deeper learning by providing individualized processing time and allowing the necessary repetition and review
3. Help learners develop collaborative problem-solving skills increasing opportunities for collaborative work and allowing for peer and personal reflection

 

Creating well-designed asynchronous activities doesn’t need to be complicated or time-consuming, but they should address the top essential components of asynchronous learning:

1. Allow for voice and choice
2. Make sure directions are clear and all resources are readily accessible
3. Include structured opportunities for collaboration and peer-to-peer teaching.

To put context around what that looks like, we’ve created a chemistry lesson available in Lumio. This lesson provides a guided asynchronous learning experience.
