This webinar will look at principles and practices in asynchronous online learning - that is, online learning activities that students do at a time of their own choosing in a virtual learning environment (VLE), and which is supported by tutors and/or pre- programmed feedback. We will look at activities which are commonly available in VLEs, the benefits of including asynchronous activities in online learning, and tutor competences for managing and support asynchronous learning.
