Yesterday we had a coffee break discussion about low tech options for a virtual world. See discussion post.

One of our amazing participants had the wonderful suggestion of having a deeper conversation about  this topic. 

Based on the chart below:

  • What actions do you take to address lower bandwidth?
  • How could  create fantastic instructional experiences with using the asynchronous tools in the green zone?
The Green Zone: Underappreciated Workhorses Starting with the green zone in the lower left, we have readings with text and images. These types of assignments may not seem exciting, but sharing readings with students in a consistent and organized way provides your online course with a very practical, solid foundation. Email and discussion boards also belong in this quadrant. Online instructors have been using these three tools—file sharing (for readings and such), email, and discussion boards—for decades.
