Async Learning (Definition & How Remote Teams Learn on Their Own Schedule)
Async learning is self-paced learning that workers can do whenever it fits their schedule, without needing live training sessions.
What Is Async Learning?
Async learning lets people consume training materials—like videos, articles, and courses—on demand, instead of attending scheduled sessions.
Examples of Async Learning
- Recorded onboarding sessions
- Internal learning hubs and course libraries
- Written playbooks and how-to guides
- Short internal videos and micro-courses
Benefits
- Respects different time zones and workloads
- Allows people to revisit materials as needed
- Scales better than repeated live trainings
