About this Event

Instructional Technology presents our monthly series, Feature a Teacher and Tool. In this one hour webinar, we will showcase a faculty member on their use of a specific technology tool and how that tool supports their teaching and learning experience with students.

Kristen Anchor, Lecturer, Media and Communication Studies, is our featured faculty member for the month of April. Kristen will share and reflect on her experience using the New VoiceThread Assignments feature in MCS 101 this semester.

VoiceThread is a learning tool for enhancing student engagement and online presence. With VoiceThread, instructors and/or students can create, share, and comment on images, Microsoft PowerPoint presentations, videos, audio files, documents, and PDFs, using microphone, webcam, text, phone, and audio-file upload.
