How can I teach asynchronously?

The features mentioned in this article are available to all Teachers on paid and free subscriptions.

Whether you employ the flipped classroom approach or simply want to have your students doing extra work on their own, you can easily assign Off2Class lessons for them to do asynchronously. You can assign as many lessons as you wish.

There are two basic steps to assigning asynchronous work:

Enroll the student in the lesson
1. Close the classroom
Assign homework

This gives the student access to the lesson slides and the homework assignments. When students complete lessons asynchronously, they can use all lesson slides, audio tracks and the scaffold menu, however, any answers on the lesson slides are not saved. The slides are for reading, notes, and review only. All graded work must be done in the attached homework, which is what the teacher reviews.

Note: Enterprise Managers can assign courses to students for asynchronous work, giving students access to a full study course along with corresponding homework. Contact your Enterprise Manager if you require this for your students.

When your student next logs into their account, they click the homework assignment to open:
