This Week's App: VoiceThread

What is VoiceThread?

You can upload slides, videos, images, and documents. You can even record your audio and video directly into the platform through your computer or even by phoning in your audio.

What can it be used for?

If you need students to deliver asynchronous presentations, do workshop critiques of one another's work, listen to your lectures asynchronously, or do annotations of scholarly works, VoiceThread offers you the tool to do it.

How do I get started?

First, create a VoiceThread account, then start by imagining a space where your students might need to ask questions or have conversations.

Once you've got that space identified (workshop, seminar, critiques, roundtables, lectures with Q&A), consider who will be creating content.

• Are you going to create everything?
• Will the students be creating their own content?
• Will everyone be responding to one another?

If you know how everyone will be interacting, then you will want to set up your VoiceThread to either allow everyone to add their own slides/content to the VoiceThread or only allow the students to comment on content you've added.
