I will say that I am an asynchronous learner. I understand work in a larger environment but I have to always review the information to get a full understanding of it. I prefer to work alone and read the information and complete the assignment during my own time. I will admit I really have to force myself to stay on task for the Collaborate meeting with it being in the afternoon and just getting off work. I enjoy the modules because I can get up on a Saturday morning and complete the assignment at my own pace.
I know what you mean by being tired! Even though it is tough going to school after teaching it all day, I like Collaborate because I can relax/unwind, get comfortable and allow myself to focus specifically on class. I don't mind asynchronous at all, maybe it is a Chef thing. My suggestion would be coffee before class, it helps give me that boost of energy. I also appreciate the multiple outlooks and mindsets that the Collaborate environment provides that you don't get from asynchronous online learning.
