Engaging Students in Asynchronous Discussion with VoiceThread

The next best thing to in-class discussion and activities, VoiceThread enables creative alternatives for students to interact with each other and with the instructor online. It also allows for practicing skill sets in ways that are similar to classroom activities. Cecile Lardon has been using this tool for assignments and discussions in her asynchronous, online Psychology courses for four years and has received positive feedback from students. In this workshop, she will share about how she's used VoiceThread, the impact it's had, and will demonstrate the technical aspects of the tool. Recording from March 16, 2022
