Abstract
Asynchronous teaching is more than just delivering content to learners online. A well-designed asynchronous teaching experience considers the level of the learner, the delivery of both organizational logistics and content, and the facilitation of intentional social interactions for learners. Whether you are new to asynchronous teaching or you currently use it, this chapter will review the fundamentals necessary to create an outstanding asynchronous teaching experience for both learners and instructors. The ultimate goal of this chapter is to provide you with the tools to increase dialogue among your learners, improve their satisfaction with your asynchronous teaching, and improve the knowledge-based outcomes of your learners.
