Voicethread
Voicethread is a web based tool giving the users the possibility of collaborating dialogically on digital media in form of e.g. a picture, a PowerPoint presentation or a film, where everyone can contribute with their commentary in the form of text, audio, drawing or video. Voicethread can also be used to develop learning resources for the tuition.
Imagine for instance that you, as an educator, would like to make your slideshow accessible with your recorded comments for the separate slides. Voicethread will manage this.
Imagine that you want a group to discuss and comment a certain academic question. Voicethread will make it possible for the individual group member to contribute while at the same time being able to hear/see the other members' points of view. At the bottom of this page you can find just that kind of Voicethread.
A Voicethread can be opened so that everyone can contribute or private, making it visible only to those selected.
We used Voicethread when we made our Advent calendar in 2010. See this Voicethread about smartphones: http://voicethread.com/share/1545384/
We have created a Voicethread that you can take part in. It discusses the applications of a Voicethread, meaning that you will here have the opportunity to learn more about the possibilities of the program by playing with it, while at the same time getting and giving inspiration from and to your colleagues and fellow students. Have a great time right here: http://voicethread.com/share/1647793/
If you have any ideas or experiences you would like to share with the Academic IT regarding the use of Voicethread, do not hesitate to contact us, at ait-info(at)ruc.dk. We will gladly help you gain an easier everyday life.
Seeing as Evernote is an external service, the RU Helpdesk does not offer support on the use of the program.
