I know the differernce between asynchronize and synchronize discussions and how to be utilized for e-learning. Asynchronize discussion is the preffered method for all students to participate. Students who have learning styles of avoident, dependant and competetive can all benefit from asynchoronice discussion. If synchronized discussion is used some things to consider is to restrict the total time for core chat session to a maximum of 30 minutes, allot time for socializing, and address learners by their preffered name.
