This article is intended for instructors looking to create a VoiceThread (VT) “Watch” assignment. A Watch assignment requires students to make a full playthrough of an instructor created VoiceThread.
The VT “Watch” assignment type is automatically graded and has a possible points value of 1. Once students complete a full playthrough of the instructor’s VoiceThread, a 1 will be input into the corresponding grade center column. 
Warning: Do not change the possible points of this VT assignment after it has been published. This will break the grading mechanism. VoiceThread is not designed for use as extra credit.
