Define the terms "synchronous training" and "asynchronous training," and provide an example for each.

Asynchronous training is training that is pre-recorded and available to trainees any time and from any location, and would include things like text, graphics, and animation available on a company website for use in a training program and that can be viewed either from home or work at the trainee's convenience. Synchronous training is offered in real time and requires trainees to be at their computer at a specific time, and would include things like web-based video conferencing where trainees interact live with each other and the trainer.
