Liven Up Your D2L Discussion Board with VoiceThread!

Has the novelty of your D2L Discussion Board waned with the progression of the fall semester?

Do you feel the need to increase student participation in the hybrid element of your course?

Do your students view PowerPoints for homework but you are looking for a way to improve student interaction with these materials?

Then please attend my VoiceThread workshop: Hellems 145 Tuesday, October 30th 3pm-5pm OR Wednesday, October 31th 10am-12pm

VoiceThread is an online interactive program that allows you to easily create a digital slide show using photos, video, or documents. The VoiceThread creator can then add comments (audio, text or video) and doodles to that slide show and share it with others who can comment as well. Last year, CU purchased a site license for VoiceThread which has done much to facilitate the use of this program in your class. For instance, CU students now log in to VoiceThread using their IdentiKeys and VoiceThreads can easily be embedded in D2L.

Please contact me if you plan to attend the workshop: Courtney.Fell [at] colorado.edu

Here is an example VoiceThread from my Continuing Ed Spanish class from last spring.
