On both occasions, the idea that most got me thinking was that 'synchronous is sovereign'. Having said that, I'm not convinced that synchronous events are all that exciting when the experience is no different from a recording. So, don't push the slider from all synchronous to all asynchronous - find the right balance.

Well, because I couldn't have synchronous e-learning myths #2 and #3 but no #1. I must admit that, up until the event, I thought I had a pretty good handle on how to use virtual classrooms and other synchronous technologies successfully. Next: Synchronous e-learning myth #2: Classroom will always be best

and we're happy with the term for an online lecture/presentation (a webinar of course), but we're bamboozled when it comes to live online learning. Synchronous training. Synchronous training. Synchronous teaching and learning online. Synchronous e-learning.

You could then be supported in meeting those goals through YouTube-style video channels, communities of practice, shared content, webinars run using Saba Meetings, and so on. It is also possible to establish mentoring relationships and set up activities to support these. There's also a facility to track down an expert.

What caught my attention was how this 25-30% was made up, with about 2/3 asynchronous (self-paced) and 1/3 synchronous (live/real-time), although the majority of the non-e-learning elements are synchronous as well, using the traditional classroom. Synchronous communication is speedy and responsive; it gets things done right away.

I'm going to pick one particular favourite of mine and that's Marc Gamble's piece on Using Radio Production Techniques to Improve Synchronous Communication. I like them at conferences, I like them in podcasts and now I'm going to try them in webinars. So thanks Marc.

I was eventually converted by my participation in a wonderfully interactive and engaging webinar delivered by someone who's name I have entirely forgotten (my apologies if by some extraordinary chance you are reading this). This has been my experience too.
