In comparison of both Asynchronous and Synchronous learning we can benefit from both modes of delivering course materials to students. Adult students have an idea of what kind of learning style they would prefer. Neither learning style is better than the other.
We have chose using a blog to deliver our team assignment because blogs are a great way to hear other students ideas and opinions. Blogs allows students to voice their concerns and dislikes without feeling as if their opinions do not matter.
Blogs allows participation from everyone in a classroom. Blogs capture changes in the way others think by allowing students and the facilator to think differently than they would before they read or posted on a blog page.
It broadens students minds to think outside of the box. Adult learners who are attending college online think differently than those who are attending a traditional college. Using a blog allows both students to see the world of education differently and often times can create positive feedback from both the students and faciliator.
