communication definitions communication definitions
Can anyone give me a less confusing definition of asynchronous communication?

I have a paper to write for school and I’ve been reading all of these definitions for asynchronous communication and I’m really confused. I as wondering if someone could kind of break it down for me and explain to me how it relates to distance learning.
thanks.

Not synchronized; that is, not occurring at predetermined or regular intervals. The term asynchronous is usually used to describe communications in which data can be transmitted intermittently rather than in a steady stream. For example, a telephone conversation is asynchronous because both parties can talk whenever they like. If the communication were synchronous, each party would be required to wait a specified interval before speaking.
