Many of our clients run successful collaborative eWorkshops (mostly asynchronous, so no or few webinars ). Asynchronous collaboration often goes deeper. Few people copy other people’s contributions when they work in open environments where there is a strong feeling of trust and partnership. Working with a partner (‘buddy’) or small teams of 3-4 people doesn’t work in asynchronous environments.

I will reiterate the focus of the post here just to keep myself on track: asynchronous communication is not the focus of this blog, so we’d better find some equivalent arguments to justify communicating in real-time, when we don’t usually have a record of what is said and done, when all participants have to be available at the same time, when communication has to be spontaneous, when the pacing is inflexible and when there is no rewind button.

While this person can continue to add things (files, etc.) – the chunk is placed in there – and trust me, it is not a quick thing to do – it takes considerable time. It is not a web based training course, because if you were to take a deep dive at WBT, you will see it aligns more with something called Asynchronous Based Learning.

The biggest problems with group projects boil down to trust and accountability. Synchronous vs. Asynchronous communication. So, while asynchronous communication tools (such as email or community forums) can provide flexibility for members to respond when it is most convenient for them, synchronous communication (live chat, video conferencing) helps groups stay on the same page. Group projects help prepare learners for the real work environments, but they’re hard to organize.

Online educational tools allow students and instructors to interact synchronously or asynchronously and give endless training opportunities with distance learning courses or hybrid courses. Experiences in a well-trusted LMS may include study guides and self-paced assignments, video lectures, audio recordings, videoconferencing, interactive learning objects, and live chat with fellow students or asynchronous discussions. Most e-learning programs are asynchronous.

To support learners in an asynchronous environment, the learning design needs to include milestones and clear completion requirements. Including interactive touch-points and other check-ins can also contribute to a heavily asynchronous program’s success. Only within environments of trust can emerging leaders give and receive the authentic, supportive feedback required to identify personal leadership blind spots.
