VoiceThread at CSU Channel Islands
VoiceThread is an academic technology available to all faculty and students at CI that allows for the creation of online voice and video conversations around multimedia. It is integrated into the CI Learn system and provides asynchronous and secure discussions. VoiceThread is being used at CI for online discussions, student presentations, interactive lessons with video feedback, collaborative work, and practice in courses like Spanish and Composition. Its use has increased substantially over the last year, with the number of students, faculty, and VoiceThreads created all rising over 100% in one semester. A monthly CI VoiceThread community meeting brings faculty together both on-campus and remotely to share strategies for using VoiceThread to humanize student learning.
