Technology Asynchronous and Synchronous Principles

The document discusses principles of using words and graphics, as well as asynchronous and synchronous learning via technology. It provides examples of how words and graphics have been effectively used in literature to enhance understanding. It also outlines key principles for using words and graphics, such as clarity, hierarchy, contrast and alignment. Furthermore, it defines asynchronous learning as student-paced and synchronous learning as real-time, comparing their advantages and disadvantages for teaching and learning.

WORDS AND

GRAPHICS
PRINCIPLES
THE PRINCIPLES OF USING
WORDS AND GRAPHICS
Words and graphics should be used in a way that
enhances the understanding of literary works.
Examples of how words and graphics have been
used in literature studies can be found in classic
literature or contemporary works.
PRINCIPLES
 Clarity- text and visuals conveys a clear message without ambiguity.
 Consistency – maintain uniformity in design elements, Fonts, and language for a cohesive look.
 Hierarchy – Organize content hierarchically to organize viewers attention, emphasizing key information.


Contrast- Create visual interest by contrasting elements like color, size, and font weight.
 Alignment- Maintain Co nsistent alignment for a polished and professional appearance.
 Whitespace- Allow sufficient white space to enhance readability and reduce visual clatter.
 Color Harmony- Choose a color palette that complements the message and evokes the desired emotions.
 Typography – Ensure both words and graphics directly contribute to the intended message, avoiding
unnecessary elements.
The importance of words and
graphics principles in literature
studies cannot be overstated, as
they can help students better
understand and appreciate literary
works!

HERE IS WHAT WE
ARE LEARNING
TODAYWhat is Asynchronous Learning

What is Synchronous Learning

Pros and Cons of the two.


ASYNCHRONOUS
LEARNING
VIA TECHNOLOGY
is when everyone tunes in when it’s convenient for them.
Teachers post lectures, reading materials, discussion
questions, and other class materials onto the course
management system, and students complete tasks and learn
on their own time. Teachers may give students deadlines to
complete modules or turn in assignments, but it’s up to
students if they want to do it at 1 am or noon.
ADVANTAGES OF ASYNCHRONOUS
 Timing: We all have different internal clocks that make us more alert and primed to learn
at different times.
 Teachers have more time for questions and feedback: Rather than spending their time
teaching live lectures and talking to students all at once, teachers can create materials
ahead of time so they don’t have to spend time delivering the content.
 Students can learn offline: If students don’t have wifi at home, they can download course
materials somewhere else
 Deeper thinking: Students have more time to think about a concept before they respond.
 Everyone has their voice heard: Like in a physical classroom, in a face to face video
chat, students who are more reserved often don’t offer their opinion. It’s easier for these
students to join in discussions that aren’t happening in real time because they have time to
craft what they want to say, and they’re not afraid somebody else is going to talk over
them.
 Efficiency: Asynchronous learning can be very quick and efficient.
 Scheduling: Asynchronous learning is ideal for people who can’t take classes during
the traditional school day.
 Pacing: Students can go at their own pace, so those who need more time get all the
time they need, while students who move through material quickly can move on when
they’re ready.
 Review: Students are able to go back and re-watch lectures to review information or
clarify concepts that are confusing to them.
 Multitasking: It isn’t the best idea for students to try to watch TV or socialize while
doing their schoolwork, but asynchronous learning does give students a great
opportunity to multitask efficiently.
 Appeals to different learning types: Rather than requiring all students to come
together to listen to the teacher or join in a video chat, asynchronous courses can
provide information to students in many different ways so they can choose how they
want to consume the information.
DISADVANTAGES
 Lack of social connection: Students can go through a whole course without even
knowing what their teacher looks like or talking to him or her one on one.
 Misunderstanding: When only communicating via email or text, it’s easy for teachers
to misunderstand students and vice versa.
 Teachers can seem unavailable: Sometimes students assume teachers aren’t available
to help them or answer questions
 Motivation: Some students have a lot of trouble finding the motivation and discipline
to listen to lectures, read required readings, and complete assignmentments without
face to face meetings and a strict schedule.
 Students try to rush: When there is no set time that students need to be logged in and
learning, they can be tempted to cut corners and rush through their work.
SYNCHRONOUS LEARNING
VIA TECHNOLOGY

is the type of learning you would get in a traditional


classroom: everybody is there at the same time, interacting
and taking in the same information simultaneously. The
synchronous settings are led and facilitated by the teacher or
course instructor.
In an online setting, synchronous classrooms use chat
rooms, video conferencing, live streaming, and other
methods to have the whole class meet at the same time.
ADVANTAGES OF
SYNCHRONOUS LEARNING
 Personal connection: It’s much easier for teachers and students to form connections with each other
 Less miscommunication: When teachers are meeting with students in real time, they can make themselves
clear and respond to any questions or confusion right away
 More clarification: Similarly, it’s much easier for students to ask questions and clarify concepts.
 Group work: When teachers assign group or partner work, things tend to go more smoothly when students
can meet together in real time.
 Easy check-ins: Teachers like to know which students might be having trouble or falling behind
 Structure: Many students need the structure and accountability synchronous learning provides.
 Classroom culture: One of the great benefits of meeting together in a physical classroom is the sense of
classroom culture and camaraderie students and teachers feel.
 Instant feedback: Students can find out right away if they’re on the right track or if they need to correct
something because the teacher is right there.
DISADVANTAGES
 Wasted time: Synchronous learning can be time consuming for a multitude
of reasons, including waiting for everyone to connect, troubleshooting
technical issues, and sitting through small talk.
 Scheduling: Many students choose online learning because of the flexible
schedule it offers, but synchronous learning doesn't provide that flexibility.
 Connection and technology issues: If the connection goes out or students
have trouble with technology during a synchronous lesson, they’re going to
miss out on that information.
 Distractions: Synchronous learning, especially in an environment where the
whole class joins in a big video chat, can be very distracting
