VoiceThread is an interactive collaboration and sharing tool for discussions that makes it easy to add images, documents, and videos to online discussions. This interactive tool can also be used for learning activities or graded assignments. We will discuss best practices and how the use of VoiceThreads benefits students.

This workshop is intended for faculty members who want to create an interactive and collaborative learning environment with VoiceThreads. By the end of the workshop, faculty members will have created an introductory VoiceThread that can be used in their face-to-face or online classroom. This is a hands-on workshop that will take place in a computer lab.

Participants will be able to:

• Add a VoiceThread to Blackboard
• Set up a Voicethread link
• Create a VoiceThread Activity
• Create Graded Assignments
• Insert hyperlinks, videos, and other media
• Record video and audio comments on the fly
