2. **Asynchronous** communication with CO - via CLEAR-Conversation
>> ** Why Asynchronous? ** >> Due to the scheduling constraint, the North Carolina team and the Colorado team were unable to communicate in real time. We have taken the asynchronous approach to resolve this challenge by pre-recording a set of conversation-like prompts in MSU-CLEAR tool. This is similar to the AP Chinese Free Response problem using the Conversation format. MSU-CLEAR Conversation supports both video and audio. Had the teams have access to web-camera, the video would have been implemented. Here is a collection of the evidence of the asynchronous communication between the NC and CO teams.
