Traditional Classrooms
Whereas synchronous classrooms are designed to accommodate remote students and in some cases, remote faculty, traditional classrooms support in-person participants only. Content may instead be shared asynchronously with remote participants through a variety of methods such as screen capture, lecture capture, or pre-recording of content.
