Which term means the entire class meets at the same time in real time by voice or video?

• A. Synchronous Learning
• B. Asynchronous Learning
• C. Blended Learning
• D. Tailboard Chats

Answer: (A)

Synchronous learning means instruction delivered in real time, with the entire class participating at the same moment through live voice or video. This setup lets everyone interact immediately—ask questions, discuss, and receive feedback as if you’re in a live classroom, just through a digital channel like a video conference or live chat.

Asynchronous learning, on the other hand, is consumed on learners’ own schedules with materials you can access anytime. Blended learning mixes both approaches, combining some real-time sessions with self-paced activities. Tailboard chats aren’t a standard term for a whole-class live session; they’re not inherently about synchronous, real-time meeting of the entire class.
