SSD17: Engaging Your Students with VoiceThread
Hours: 2.75
VoiceThread is an interactive asynchronous communication and presentation tool that is integrated into Blackboard. VoiceThread makes it easy to add images, documents, audio, and video to online discussions. This interactive tool can 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 a VoiceThread that can be used for their face-to-face or online course. This is a hands-on workshop that will take place in a computer lab.
Participants need experience in Blackboard to be successful in this workshop. This is not a class on how to use Blackboard.
Participants will be asked to work on an online orientation or a class introduction and ice-breaker. Please bring digital copies of your syllabus or any other materials you might want to work on. The presenters will contact you later with details.
