The largest growth opportunities in learning and education lie in networked courses and programs. Potential advantages of Asynchronous learning network (ALN) in existing courses are so monumental that most campuses are experimenting with ALN at the moment and contemplating more widespread deployment for existing courses. The asynchronous format has been in existence for quite some time; however, new research and strategies suggest that this approach can enable learners to increase knowledge and skills through self-paced and self-directed modules completed when the learner is prepared and motivated to learn. Networked courses are cheaper than traditional courses due to virtual elimination of needs for physical classrooms, building maintenance, and expensive on-site faculty. To use these self-paced courses successfully, undoubtedly, one will have to overcome some challenges. Asynchronous Learning is gaining rapid popularity as its varied benefits become explicit. This article stresses that Asynchronous learning network is not simply a cheap alternative in terms of faculty. In fact, Asynchronous computer networks have the potential to improve contact with faculty, perhaps making self-paced learning a realisable goal for some off- and on-campus students. There are many opportunities where ALN may contribute to another outcome: lowering the cost of education, e.g., by naturally introducing new values for old measures such as student-faculty ratios. Traditional universities that cling to only limited, and possibly outmoded, courses will find themselves facing a tremendous challenge. Strategies should be formed to bridge curriculum gaps with ALN contracts. As network education opportunities increase, it becomes increasingly evident that traditional universities will have to add more course choices to curricula in order to keep pace with their old and newer competitors.
