I think the synchronous model makes it easier to have small communities of students working through the same thing at the same time, helping each other.

- notimetorelax 14y agoOn top of that it makes work of TA easier. Everyone works more or less on the same problem, be it programming assignment, quiz, etc. If there's a new question TA most probably remember what was in the last lectures and what are the common issues students are having this week.
- colin_jack 14y agoSame for me. I also find the assignments/exercises on the courses are first class and that's where a lot of the learning comes in especially when backed up by discussion forum activity from other students. Watching the videos on their own doesn't really appeal to me.
