About this Tool
Indiana University's enterprise license for VoiceThread expires on December 31, 2024. The service will not be available after that date. For more information, see About the Voicethread Retirement.
VoiceThread facilitates asynchronous, online discussion around any kind of media, including text, images, videos, and PowerPoint slides. Students and faculty can interact using text, audio, and video, so VoiceThread helps create community within your course. You can draw (or "doodle") on the screen as you talk about an image, text, or video. You can place comments at a point in a video to ask a question or provide feedback. You can use VoiceThread to upload PowerPoint slides, narrate them slide-by-slide, and invite students to discuss and ask questions as they work through your narrated lecture. You can also have students work on group presentations in VoiceThread.
