Using VoiceThread to Engage Students in Online Courses (2020 Faculty Showcase)

VoiceThread (VT) is a versatile tool that faculty can use to engage students. Whether you're looking to move beyond discussion boards, reimagine assignments for online teaching, or reclaim in-class time for other course activities, VT is a lesser-known resource that you never knew you needed and is already available to you on Blackboard! Come see demonstrations of real-world applications of VT at work: humanize course introductions, encourage student reflection of assignments, present lecture content for a flipped classroom experience, promote peer discussion, or migrate student presentations online. Then, spend time brainstorming how you'd like to incorporate VoiceThread into one or more of your classes.
