Students reported that with the synchronous and asynchronous blended online course format they felt they gained a sense of stability, stayed on task, and gained a stronger connection with other participants.
“Students also reported that with the synchronous and asynchronous blended online course format they felt they gained a sense of stability, stayed on task, and gained a stronger connection with other participants similar to what was reported by Chen and You (2007) and Hrastinski (2010).”
From Blending online asynchronous and synchronous learning (2014) · cites this paper as Hrastinski (2010)
Hrastinski (2010) suggests that synchronous communication may be used to foster personal participation, convergence on meaning, and task-related and social support, especially in smaller group settings and for less complex tasks.
“Hrastinski (2010) suggests that synchronous communication may be used to foster personal participation and to allow convergence on meaning as well as provide task-related and social support, especially when applied in smaller group settings and for less complex tasks.”

“…contrast, learners characterize participation in online synchronous discussions as more focused, having a stronger sense of contribution, increasing motivation, and supporting better course performance than asynchronous discussions (Chen and You, 2007; Hrastinski, 2008, 2010; Malkin et al., 2018).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
