Asyncronous – “Directed Study”
Self Study learning experiences rely on some structured
plan that directs the learner through learning experiences
without real-time interaction from an instructor. CD-ROM
based tutorials, paper-based correspondence and "Click-tolearn" web based systems are examples of this learning
format.
Syncronous – “Instructor Led”
Instructor-led learning events are distinguished from
Directed Study in that some commonly shared experience
or event - generally occurring in real-time with highly
interactive and structurally dynamically characteristics - is
led by the instructor.
Blackboard
Web-based
directed learning environment designed to
simplify putting course content on the internet.
 Multiple resources collected under a
single interface to simplify the distance
learning experience for both the
instructor and the learner.
