Asynchronous learning is a general term for education, instruction and learning that does not require students and instructors to share the same place or time. It relies on resources that let information be shared outside the constraints of time and place among a network of learners, and much well designed asynchronous learning draws on constructivist theory, a student centered approach that emphasizes peer to peer interaction. It combines self study with asynchronous interaction and can support traditional on campus education, distance education and continuing education alike.
