Make authentic human presence part of the everyday learning experience, simply.

Player

A VoiceThread is a persistent virtual room that enables rich multimodal comments and conversations in a low stress and accessible format. Use any media you want - participate whenever you want - express yourself however you want.

Humanizing

VoiceThreading allows you to replace the clickety-click interactions found in many learning tools with the authentic and complex human-to-human interactions that build important lifelong competencies. Speaking, listening, critical thinking, empathic accuracy, and the social and emotional skills required for an entire lifetime of fulfillment all require real human interactions to build.

AI Aware

Using VoiceThread, students don't just generate content; they interact with their peers and teachers in authentic and complex ways that AI cannot. Ask students and they'll tell you they're looking for social learning experiences that are authentic and self-paced. The cognitive skills they'll use to socially connect in a VoiceThread cannot be easily offloaded. No AI detection tools are required.

Despite the ever-changing web and world, a growing PLN, new ways to connect and share ideas available every single day..... one thing has remained constant: VoiceThread is the highest quality, most dynamic and empowering web tool available to teachers and students for learning projects. (In My Opinion) And I have tried everything.

How will I work with students?

The best experience for students is to to work within an institutional license because of the reduced barriers; Single Sign On, automatic account creation, integration with LMS gradebook, LMS course cloning etc. However there are two other options for working with students:   

  1. VoiceThread Courses where students get upgraded accounts and use all the familiar features of courses found in an LMS — a modular structure with content, assignments, student gallery, quick grader, and analytics. The cost for course participation is $4 if you purchase seats for them, or $12 if they purchase their own seats. (bulk discounts available)
  2.  Have the students use free accounts, where they can make an unlimited number of comments but their comments will be limited to 3 minutes each.
