Asynchronous Learning Glossary Definition

Asynchronous learning occurs when learners participate at different times rather than meeting live with an instructor or group.

It is common in online courses, knowledge bases, and self-paced programs where learners need flexibility, clear structure, and well-designed feedback mechanisms.

Asynchronous Learning is common in online courses, workplace training, discussion boards, recorded lessons, and self-paced adult education programs. Some usage is tied to U.S. adult education policy or reporting and should be read in that context.
