Submitting a Group VoiceThread for a VoiceThread Assignment

Submission Method A:

1. Once your group has finalized all of the media and comments and settings, select one member of your group to submit.

2. 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.  

   

3. 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.

   

4. Navigate to the VoiceThread Assignment link in your HuskyCT course.

5. From the Assignment page, click Start Assignment.

   

6. From the "Let's get started!" page, select Use an existing VoiceThread instead of creating a new one.

   

7. Select the Submission copy your group's VoiceThread and click Submit.
