Add media-rich, asynchronous engagement in your courses
VoiceThread is a collaborative, multimedia slide show that holds images, documents, and videos and allows people to navigate slides and leave comments in several ways – text, voice, audio file, or webcam.

- Demonstrate procedures to help students prepare for a practical exam
- Explain decisions when selecting subjects for a painting’s composition
- Foster greater community in large, lecture-based classes
- Debate the pros and cons of a controversial issue
- Practice foreign language skills during role-play
