VoiceThread is web-based presentation software that allows users to create and share interactive multimedia slideshows. VoiceThread presentations are used to showcase audio, video, images, and documents while allowing users to comment on them in a variety of different ways. The result is a digital conversation that can be easily shared with individuals, groups, and/or embedded into different websites, including Canvas.
Instructors, for face-to-face, online, or hybrid courses may want to consider using voice thread to:
- share lecture slides or visual materials, with or without audio commentary
- ask students to comment on or respond to questions about those materials
- ask students to create, share, and peer review presentations.
