Sharing a VoiceThread

Welcome to the Sharing a VoiceThread tutorial. This tutorial is divided into two parts. The first part, "Sharing your VoiceThread Presentation so Others can Comment" will show you how to allow others to add comments (a voiceover) to a slides in a presentation you have created. These steps will be sufficient for most applications of VoiceThread (for example, a group project where one group member uploads all of the slides and then shares the presentation so other group members can add comments to the slides).

However, if you need other people to add slides and media to a presentation you created, please see the second part of the tutorial, "Sharing your VoiceThread Presentation so Others can Edit."

If you have accidentally created your VoiceThread presentation outside of the course area, please see "Sharing a VoiceThread Presentation Created Outside of the Course Area"
