Using VoiceThread to Create Community in Your Online Course

VoiceThread is a collaborative, multimedia slide show that enables you and your students to upload images, documents, and videos, while giving learners the capability to communicate and discuss the presentation, with you and their peers.  This feature allows learners to submit comments in a selected way - using voice, text, audio, or video, to extend learning beyond the limitations of a text-based discussion.

During this session, we will discuss the benefits and ease of using this Blackboard integrated collaboration tool. VoiceThread can be used to upload, share and discuss documents, presentations, images, audio files and videos. We will also discuss the steps to creating, commenting and grading VoiceThread assignments.  In addition, we will look at a roadmap that shows us next steps for VoiceThread slated for 2019.
