Asynchronous Tools Asynchronous tools enable communication and collaboration over a period of time through a "different time-different place" mode.
Ah's
- allow people to connect together at each person's own convenience and own schedule.
- useful for sustaining dialogue and collaboration over a period of time and providing people with resources and information that are instantly accessible, day or night.
- advantage of being able to involve people from multiple time zones.
- helpful in capturing the history of the interactions of a group, allowing for collective knowledge to be more easily shared and distributed.
Oh's
- require some discipline to use when used for ongoing communities of practice (e.g., people typically must take the initiative to "login" to participate)
- may feel "impersonal" to those who prefer higher-touch synchronous technologies
Synchronous Tools Synchronous tools enable real-time communication and collaboration in a "same time-different place" mode. These tools allow people to connect at a single point in time, at the same time.
Ah's
- Synchronous tools possess the advantage of being able to engage people instantly and at the same point in time.
- they require same-time participation - different time zones and conflicting schedules can create communication challenges.
- they tend to be costly
- may require significant bandwidth to be efficient
- needs fairly good technical expertise
