VoiceThread is a collaborative tool that allows users to add images, documents, and videos. Then other users can add their own multimedia files (voice, text, audio file, or video) as comment responses. Over 50 different types of media can be used in a VoiceThread.
Uses
Can loosely be considered an alternative to Forums, Kaltura Media Assignments or Workshops, and used to increase student engagement and make learning or assessment more interactive.
Considerations
Ties into Moodle as a preconfigured external tool.
