Learning Tools for Teaching: Humanize your online course with VoiceThread

Event Information
Date: 
Tuesday, June 2, 2026 - 9:30am to 11:30am

Creating engaging online courses is not easy. In many text discussion-board based courses, students feel isolated and disconnected from their instructors and classmates. VoiceThread bridges the gaps in social presence typically found in online courses. In this workshop, educators will learn how to establish a social presence and connect with their students using VoiceThread to improve course satisfaction and student learning. We will cover all of the basic VoiceThread features, demonstrate how everything works in Canvas, showcase a variety of examples from actual courses, and have an open Q&A throughout the training. Portions of the session will be hands-on, so participants can gain experience building VoiceThread into their courses.
