Carefully consider what is best conveyed in each modality (synchronous vs asynchronous). Ask questions such as:

• Would students benefit from getting this information in small “chunks” that can be viewed multiple times?
• Is it essential that all students are introduced to this information simultaneously?
• Is the presentation of information interspersed with opportunities to engage (discuss, apply, reflect, etc)?
• Is the interaction between students in real-time important (group work, projects)?
