Abstract. In the rapidly evolving educational landscape, distance education has emerged as a vital mode of instruction, particularly in the teaching of complex subjects such as chemistry. This article explores the efficacy of distance education technologies, specifically synchronous and asynchronous teaching methods, in enhancing the learning outcomes of chemistry students. Synchronous teaching methods involve real-time interaction between instructors and students through virtual classrooms, live discussions, and online collaboration, fostering immediate feedback and active participation. Asynchronous methods, on the other hand, provide flexibility through recorded lectures, discussion forums, and self-paced assignments, allowing students to learn at their own convenience.
