VoiceThread
VoiceThread is a commonly used tool in courses to create mini-lectures for students to watch outside of class at a time that is convenient for them.
VoiceThread recently went through an update that mostly just changed how things look and feel. The core functionality of the product is the same with just a few new features. Watch this short video to learn more.
