### Definitions of Delivery Modes
- Asynchronous Learning — Learners work independently and in a self-paced manner but within a given timeframe. Interaction between learners and instructors does not occur in real-time.
  - Examples:

    - Watching a recorded lecture video
    - Submitting responses to an online activity
    - Working independently or in a group on an assignment
    - Participating in an online discussion board
- Synchronous Learning — Lessons in which the instructor and students all cover the material at the same time. This can be done in-person, online, or in a hybrid manner.
  - Examples:
    - Traditional in-person classroom
    - Live lectures in Webex, MS Teams, Zoom (etc.)
    - Breakout sessions (group discussions) online or in-person
