They enrolled in an online program, drawn by the anytime/anywhere convenience the medium affords, but found that one of their favorite aspects was the live synchronous learning elements. During the past decade, Michael Scheuermann, PhD., an adjunct faculty member at Drexel, has required of his students a set number of synchronous sessions each quarter.
