VoiceThread




I have been sharing some great tools I found while surfing the internet, which could enhance the teaching and learning process. This time it is VoiceThread.

VoiceThread is a Web-based application that bridges the gap between real-time discussions lectures or online presentations. It is a platform for teaching, learning, training, and collaborating. VoiceThread enables a community of participants to add audio, video and text comments to graphics, videos and documents. An author of a voice thread can allow participants access the Voice Thread either by providing a link to the web page for the thread or by embedding the thread in another web. The application is user-friendly and requires minimum technical ability.

These are some of the activities language teachers have effectively conducted through VoiceThread.

•Story telling
•Feedback from professionals
•Commenting on documents
•Media or performance critique
•Presentation of course material
•Learner Reflection on course.
