Free VoiceThread workshops available in January 2021
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. VoiceThread is available to any instructor who would like to incorporate this engagement tool into their digital toolkit for academic continuity. With VoiceThread, faculty and students can:
- 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
- Critique a classmate’s composition
