What is Synchronous learning??
Synchronous learning is real time. It is defined as a group of individuals learning at the same time as they work toward a common goal or outcome. It occurs at the same time, but not in the same place.
I like to teach real time using chats/seminars. I usually try to do this at least once a week for an hour in my online classes.
Judy,
Are your students finding the office hours very useful? Do you see many of them contacting you often during the official office hour(s)?
Judy,
I think that is a great use of synchronous usage. I actually have started using synchronous office hours in my f2f courses.

My school requires an online "office hour" Sometimes students that misunderstand something they have read will come to a new understanding in hearing it explained. I like your idea of considering them chats or seminars
Fred,
Do you require attendance? How do your students feel about that? Do you record them?
