Language Learning

VoiceThread increases opportunities for speaking practice, improves assessment authenticity, and creates engaging collaborative learning experiences

Fluid Multi-Frame Video Comments

VoiceThread allows instructors and peers to provide precise, contextual feedback directly at specific moments in student presentations or recordings of role-plays, dramatically improving the learning experience compared to traditional feedback workflows.

VoiceThread showed me and my students that there was another way to learn a language that was much more meaningful and rigorous. Through its simplicity and practicality, my students and I were able to engage in higher level DOK conversations, which maximize engagement and language acquisition.

Multimodal Interactivity

The unique affordances for interactively commenting on videos, music, images, and documents make the background presence of generative AI an almost irrelevant fact. Students learn, and demonstrate their learning, in a multimodal multimedia experience that is the language equivalent of swimming or cross-country skiing—they are "whole mind" exercises, not click-through exercises.

The classroom was flipped since I did not spend most of the time explaining grammar or pronunciation aspects, but students themselves were the ones who were in charge of their own learning by asking me questions that had a real meaning to them.

Quiet Learners are Given a Place and a Voice

Every single student had the opportunity to share their ideas with the class. The level of interaction is fabulous. Every student has a voice and time to comment carefully and thoughtfully.

- Denise Maduli-Williams, a veteran ESL educator

I am unaware of any other platform that offers such a comprehensive way to engage asynchronously across multiple mediums with my students and peers.
