By incorporating synchronous sessions into the virtual learning environment, students are able to have live feedback and interaction with their teacher, similar to a face to face classroom. I think this most closely resembles an actual classroom for the teacher as well since they can teach lessons, answer students' questions and interact with their students as a whole class. This also provides an opportunity for teachers to receive immediate feedback on students' progress by observing questions or comments that they might have in the session. I think one of the best things about the synchronous sessions is the interaction that can take place between teachers and students. This allows a chance for teachers to grow that relationship with the students and encourage them throughout their coursework. While it gives the teacher a chance to teach a lesson or cover topics, there should also be a time for the students to discuss the topic. I think student-led discussions are a great learning tool for synchronous learning sessions. The teacher can also see which students would be work well together in group work throughout the semester.
