Of all the technological innovations that have found their way into the classroom in recent years, few are as exciting as VoiceThread. It’s a remarkably effective tool for facilitating collaboration and interaction–between students and faculty, and also among students themselves–in both face-to-face and online classrooms.
Fundamentally, VoiceThread allows faculty to create and post presentations based on slideshows, video, text and/or other media; students can then respond, comment and append things (using the same variety of media) to share with both the instructor and fellow students.
Want to know more about VoiceThread? Here’s your chance to get up to speed fast … join us for a special online seminar coming January 20!
During this fact-filled, 75-minute audio presentation, you’ll hear from John Orlando, Ph.D., longtime education-technology veteran and currently program director for two online master’s programs at Norwich University.
Dr. Orlando will explain:
• The innovative ways VoiceThread facilitates participation.
• The wealth of feedback tools VoiceThread supports–video, text, phone, “doodling” and more.
• How VoiceThread builds a strong sense of community among students and faculty.
• How students can use VoiceThread to actively help build and support lecture content.
• How student contributions can be used as legacies, for future classes to build on.
• How related technologies, including Video Ant and Windows Movie Maker, can further enhance the students’ learning experiences.
• How to set up and deliver in-class polls using smartphones.
• And much more.
Your input encouraged!
You can submit questions throughout the seminar, for discussion during a dedicated Q & A session. It’s your chance to fine-tune your understanding of the material, share your thoughts, and hear what’s on the minds of other attendees on campuses nationwide.
