A to Z program - live versus asynchronous sessions

What are the similarities and differences between live and asynchronous sessions?

Our program runs two different models to host the maximum number of sessions per year. Both the asynchronous and live courses include six modules and run for six weeks. You must complete each module before the next module will be activated.

The live class has more of an established pace because each week features a live class session held over Zoom and is an opportunity for direct interaction with classmates and the instructor. The sessions are recorded for those who are unable to attend. Each week one more module is ready to open, which keeps you on pace for the session. The live course sessions are open for machine rentals.

In contrast, the asynchronous model allows students to access all materials at their own pace, as long as all required items are completed by the end of the session. Asynchronous courses typically overlap with live sessions and therefore are not open for machine rentals.
