Asynchronicity

This blog is an example of asynchronicity (look it up) in a couple of ways. First, the online course you're taking is an example of asynchronous learning, meaning that the class never has to be assembled, all together, at the same time. You can "go to class" in the middle of the night from your bedroom in your pajamas, and you'll still see and read and participate in all aspects of the class.

Secondly, this blog serves two different classes during this current spring semester of 2007. Some of you are in an undergraduate class called Learning and Behavior at UH-Downtown, and some of you are in a graduate class call Learning Principles at UH-Clear Lake. The subject matter of the two courses is the same, and one of the things you have in common is the textbook, Principles of Behavior. But the UHCL class has a 2nd textbook too, which means that they're moving through PoB faster than the UHD class. My aim is to post chapter-related stuff here so that it appears while the UHCL class is on that chapter. That will make it a little early for the UHD class, but that shouldn't be a problem, and it might even be a help.
