There are two types of content delivery methods that can be used when teaching an online class: synchronous and asynchronous. In order to compare synchronous and asynchronous learning, I created this table and included examples of how the content can be delivered.

Synchronous Delivery

Teachers and students are involved in real-time
interaction. Teachers and students must be online at the same time to
participate in synchronous delivery methods.

Teachers provide materials, lessons, activities, etc. for
students to access and complete within a certain amount of time. Students and
teachers do not have to be online at the same time.
