Description

This workshop is provided by VoiceThread specifically for UMBC instructors.

Creating engaging online courses is not easy. In many text discussion-board based courses, students feel isolated and disconnected from their instructors and classmates. VoiceThread bridges the gaps in social presence typically found in online courses. 

In this workshop, educators will learn how to establish a social presence and connect with their students using VoiceThread to improve course satisfaction and student learning. We will cover all of the basic VoiceThread features, demonstrate how everything works in Blackboard, showcase a variety of examples from actual courses, and have an open Q&A throughout the training.

Please register to attend this session for UMBC instructors.
