Delivery of the learning material
Before choosing the right delivery option we have to consider the way of communication.
Learning format | Definition | The way of communication |
Asynchronous | - The participants (teacher and students) are separated in space and time
-
Self-pace elearning with a recorded learning material. Sometimes mentor or tutor helps. The students can decide on the style of elearning and the entry point (carrying out a test to assess the prior knowledge). They can skip the chapters they have already known. This way the learning path can be tailored, personalized.
