Pros

  • Synchronous learning allows students to ask questions and receive feedback in real time.
  • Many synchronous meeting tools are now free for small groups of users.

Cons

  • Synchronous learning requires everyone who participates to be available at the same time.
  • Synchronous meeting may take more time collectively than asynchronous alternatives.
