The hallmark of asynchronous education is the delivery of primary educational lecturesthrough recorded videos. Therefore, the content is typically in a longer format. To create a positive experience in these courses, the following policies should be adopted:1. Attempts should be made to reduce the length and increase the number of videos in asynchronous courses to improve student attention and retention2.

There is iterativerefinement, but usually to get one design to meet specifications, rather than to find the optimaldesign. In Dr. Loewy’s design assignment, the students go through optimization exercises andselect the best configuration, wing loading etc. The sacrifice here is that there is little time left toexplore the flight envelope. In Dr. Sankar’s assignment, the students do a deeper aerodynamicdesign, using more sophisticated criteria for the aerodynamics. Again the flight envelopeexploration is sacrificed.
