Abstract

The characteristics and nature of asynchronous learning, in a graduate level, core course, Knowledge Structures I, are first discussed in the context of digital libraries, the twenty-first century learner, and a professional program of study. Strategies used to facilitate and assess asynchronous learning such as concept mapping and the Learning Showcase are introduced and examples shown.
