Create Asynchronous Assignments

Asynchronous courses use technologies to deliver digital content and facilitate regular and substantive interactions between students and their instructors while allowing for more flexibility in scheduling. The minimal expectation of instructors/student interaction should be analogous to the number of instructor/student interactions that take place during the course when it is delivered in a synchronous environment (i.e., “face-to-face”).

Asynchronous course delivery (students do not need to participate online simultaneously) is one option instructors may implement on an online platform. Content may be delivered in multiple digital formats, and tools are available within Canvas, which allow the instructor to engage and interact with students throughout the course schedule.
