A mode of online education where students access materials, lectures, and assignments at their own convenience rather than in real-time. This format promotes flexibility for working students or those in different time zones, enabling self-paced learning.
This format is particularly useful for working professionals, international students, and those in different time zones. Learning resources — such as recorded video lectures, discussion boards, e-books, and digital assignments — are available 24/7 through Learning Management Systems (LMS) like Moodle, Canvas, or Google Classroom.
