Also known as non simultaneous communication. Communication during which participants engage in the process at different times, such as bulletin boards or e-mail. [WI]

Online discussions occurring independent of time or location. Participants send messages to a central location (discussion forum) for later retrieval by other participants. Examples of asynchronous co [..]

(Electronic classroom/Internet) Online asynchronous tools can be used to communicate anywhere and at any time. Asynchronous communication does not require users to be logged in simultaneously. Email and forums are forms of asynchronous communication. Compare with Synchronous communication.

Asynchronous communication is a transmission technique commonly used by personal computers (PCs) to connect to modems, printers, fax machines, modems, etc. With asynchronous communication, a series of [..]

Communication in which no clocking information is passed between stations.

describes when devices, such as computers, rely on their own internal clocks; it provides connectivity to printers, modems, fax machines, etc.
