The difference with the asynchronous component is that it imparts knowledge throughvideos or readings without the teacher being in real time with the students. The video presentedby the teacher can be recorded by the teacher or by someone else. The individual and groupassignments are used to reinforce the knowledge learned through tasks in which they are put intopractice.The versatility of the BFL is reflected in how it adapts to different situations that may arise in aclassroom.
