The Impact of Asynchronous Learning for the Orthodox Jewish Student
Abstract
Although the asynchronous modality of online learning has gained popularity, little is known about its success among the Orthodox Jewish population. This qualitative research action research involved 10 semi-structured interviews conducted with students at a secular and non-sectarian university. Participants were all Orthodox Jewish males and all current students in an Orthodox Jewish learning environment (yeshiva) and simultaneously at an asynchronous secular learning environment. The following four themes were identified from the 10 participants: (1) flexibility of academic schedule, (2) more time for separate Jewish studies in a yeshiva setting, (3) time for outside friends, and (4) independence. Benefits of asynchronous learning supports outside learning activities and development of analytical skills. Challenges incorporating more personal interactions among students and instructors require further consideration.
