Your point reminds us that real-time experiences usually don't live in isolation, but are part of a broader continuum in how we communicate, instruct and learn. Strategically using the "live piece" can turbo-boost the asynchronous elements. And cheers to that! -- Jonathan Alan:

It would work even better in the real time environment. I gave our several URLs to museums (including the MET). Class participants were invited to visit several of these and discover others with websites. They were to return to class with addresses for artwork (any medium) that made religious statements about Jesus Christ. This was a class that explored Christological affirmations that have been made at various times in history and in different contexts. Class members not only found some of the key paintings, sculptures, etc., that I wanted them to find, they also discovered some stuff I didn't know existed on the web. We also found supplemental information on some of the pieces that had been provided by the museum. The discussion that followed (by email, so asynchronous) was enthusiastic. I imagine it would have been even more energized if they had been in a real time class room.
