What is VoiceThread?
VoiceThread is well-suited for discussions and can foster student creativity. VoiceThread presentations can incorporate multiple media types—videos, PowerPoints, documents, images, etc. that students can then view and interact with. Students can be required to Watch, Comment on, or Create a VoiceThread. Commenting assignments enable discussion and allow for a variety of comment types, including typed, audio, or video.
VoiceThread is fully integrated into Canvas. This means that grades in VoiceThread will automatically populate into your Canvas Gradebook.
