It's the same thang as tsuwm asked about.
Common parlance: interchangeable.
Students: nix. As follows:
One literally says that they'll return the key at the same time that they finish, the other, that they'll return it after they've finished.
Edit: Anyone who says "after they've" begs the question will be shot.
