The effect of "learners as producers" as they post, comment and add value to their friends' posts is incredible. The multiplier effects of such means of transfer of knowledge are far-reaching. It goes beyond what a teacher can necessarily and possibly teach within the confines of the formal contact hours. The combination of synchronous and asynchronous learning has definitely enriched students' as well as the teacher's learning.
