Asyncronous – “Directed Study”Self Study learning experiences rely on some structured plan that directs the learner through learning experiences without real-time interaction from an instructor. CD-ROM based tutorials, paper-based correspondence and "Click-to-learn" web based systems are examples of this learning format. 

Syncronous – “Instructor Led” Instructor-led learning events are distinguished from Directed Study in that some commonly shared experience or event - generally occurring in real-time with highly interactive and structurally dynamically characteristics - is led by the instructor.
