2. Coursework and communications delivered via email and messages posted on community forums are perfect examples of asynchronous e-learning.
3. In these instances, students will typically complete the lessons on their own and merely use the internet as a support tool rather than venturing online solely for interactive classes.

5. In fact, many people take online courses because of their asynchronous nature, combining education with work, family, and other commitments. Asynchronous e-learning makes it possible for learners to log on to an e-learning environment at any time and download documents or send messages to teachers or peers.
6. Asynchronous uses technologies such as e-mail, blogs, wikis, and discussion boards as well as web-supported textbooks, hypertext documents, audio, video, electronic mailing lists, threaded conferencing systems, online discussion boards, forums.
