Creating a Shared VoiceThread
After your instructor adds you to a VoiceThread group, you will see an invitation after you log in using the VT Homepage link your course. Click Yes to be added to the group. Then refresh your browser.
From the left-side Courses section, locate, then click your Group name. If no group VoiceThread has been created yet, click Create one?
To create a new VoiceThread from scratch, select Create a new VoiceThread. To use a previously created VoiceThread, click Select from my VoiceThreads.
Add at least one Media source that will become a slide for commenting on. Only one slide needs to be added to share the VoiceThread with the other group members.
After adding Media, enter a Title for the Group project and set the Playback options.
Share the VoiceThread with other group members by clicking Share and Return to Group.
**Important: Specify that Others will be able to: View, comment and edit. Then, click Submit/share with Group. With these settings, any group member can add, edit, or delete any VoiceThread media, comments, or settings.
Once the VoiceThread has been shared, other group members can click on their Group on the left side menu of their homepage and the shared VoiceThread will appear. Group members can freely add media and comment on the group project.
Submitting a Group VoiceThread for a VoiceThread Assignment
| Note |
|---|
The VoiceThread Assignment Builder does not currently offer an option for Group Assignment submissions. This means for Group Project submissions, either: Method A) One student from each group will submit the group's VoiceThread as an assignment submission, and grading to be manually input in the Grade Center for the other group members; or Method B) every student will submit their group's VoiceThread. |
Submission Method A:
Once your group has finalized all of the media and comments and settings, select one member of your group to submit.
Before submitting the group VoiceThread to the VoiceThread Assignment link in HuskyCT, make a copy of the group VoiceThread by hovering the cursor over your group project and clicking the copy icon.
Note: This is a critical step as submitting a VoiceThread assignment will remove the group VoiceThread from your account. 
When you copy a VoiceThread, you can edit the name of the copy, and specify which comments the copy should keep. For your group project, choose Include all Comments.
Navigate to the VoiceThread Assignment link in your HuskyCT course.
From the Assignment page, click Start Assignment.
From the "Let's get started!" page, selectUse an existing VoiceThread instead of creating a new one.
Select the Submission copy your group's VoiceThread and click Submit.
