Abstract
The aim of this paper is to highlight the combine effect of synchronous as well as asynchronous in E-learning environment. Both type of learning have importance in different scenario. Not one of them can fulfill whole requirement individually. Synchronous training is done in real-time with a live instructor facilitating the training. Everyone logs in at a set time and can communicate directly with the instructor and with each other. It lasts for a set amount of time - from a single session to several weeks, months or even years. Asynchronous is e-learning in the more traditional sense of the word. It involves self-paced learning, CD-ROM-based, Network-based, Intranet-based or Internet-based. It may include access to instructors through online bulletin boards, on-line discussion groups and e-mail.
