Abstract

Abstract: This case study aims to explore and compare two cases of virtual school programs, one asynchronized and one synchronized, regarding their pedagogical design and operationalization. The authors collected data from observations of learning activities and analyses of teaching materials. A comparison was drawn on the benefits and drawbacks of two teaching modes, and the strategies the instructors use to address the limitations.
