What is VoiceThread?

Introducing VoiceThread - a new tool built right into Moodle. VoiceThread enables instructors and students to upload images, video, or documents and then record and add audio, video, or text comments. Comments create a timeline for each frame which becomes an engaging asynchronous conversation. It's perfect for peer interaction, collaborative projects, and iterative online critiques.
