Asynchronous Learning Networks for Software Engineers

摘要

Asynchronous or anytime/anywhere learning is expanding rapidly in many areas of education and training, but it is still rare in the engineering disciplines. This paper explores the potential of asynchronous learning for software engineering education and training. The paper addresses the following topics: (1) Importance of asynchronous communication for increased access to learning; (2) The experience of asynchronous learning by students and faculty; (3) Evaluation of asynchronous learning.
