Graphical interaction (asynchronous) is one of the Asynchronous Computer Mediated Communications (ACMC). ACMC support the collaborative discussion and critique of sharable representations over time and anywhere in space among participants using audio, video, textual and graphical annotations on a digitised resource, without a synchronous interaction.

In particular the term ‘graphical interaction (asynchronous)’ refers to the process of sharing ideas and working collaboratively by editing various forms of graphic communication (e.g. still images, plans, diagrams) in shared, online workspaces that allow collaborators to view and edit the work in their own time.

Related methods include: Audio Interaction (Asynchronous), Image enhancement, Resource sharing, Textual Interaction (Asynchronous) and Video-based Interaction (Asynchronous).
