Week 1: Discussion Question

This was my response to the week 1 Discussion Question:

An advantage to asynchronous communication in education is that users
can read, digest, and respond at their own pace. People in a class
setting can take as little or as much time as they need or want in
answering, reading, or responding. This is a time saver for some and a
stress-reliever for others. A disadvantage is that everyone may not be
on the same page at the same time. Those instructing may need to
address or help some students and relay the same information a number
of times. It can also be difficult sometimes for some to share their
ideas as they are not immediately received and may not be for some
time. Therefore the person initially communicating would have to wait
for the recipient or move on without a response.
