I was happy to see that my online course - one that contains both asynchronous and synchronous activities - meets the "core elements" guidelines. Up to this point, I had not heard of FolioSpaces and plan to incorporate an activity for students to set up their own account- and one for myself! Most importantly, my biggest takeaway is that asynchronous learning is a legitimate and effective way to educate students. The environment really does level the playing field between introverts and extraverts with the student in charge of the where and when to engage with the material.
