Understanding the 4 types of VoiceThread links

Body

There are four different ways you can add VoiceThread to your course site — Course View, VT Home, Individual Link and a VoiceThread Assignment.

Course View

Displays the VoiceThreads that have been shared with your course (See Fig. 1).

In addition to viewing all of the VoiceThreads that an instructor has shared with the course, this view also shows the VoiceThreads that the students have shared with the course. 

Use case examples

This is a good option when you want students to find and comment on each other's work or if you want to allow students to review all course materials prior to an exam.

A potential title or name for this link in your course could be "Watch VoiceThreads Here."

VT Home

Displays all of a single user’s VoiceThread content (See Fig. 2). This includes all of the VoiceThreads that they own or that have been shared with them.

Use case examples

This is a good option to provide when you or your students are creating VoiceThreads.
A potential title or name for this link in your course could be "Create VoiceThreads Here."

Individual VT

Creates a direct link to any VoiceThread that you have created (See Fig. 3).

Use case examples

Use an individual link when posting content for your students to view on a weekly basis, or wherever you decide to direct link to a VoiceThread in a module.​​​​​​​

Assignment Builder

You may create an Assignment link that allows for easy grading with an integrated link to your course site's grade center (See Fig. 4).

Use case examples

Assignment choices include requiring students to Create a Voicethread of their own to submit, to Comment on a VoiceThread you’ve created, or simply to Watch a VoiceThread start to finish.
