This article is for faculty and instructors seeking to add pre-recorded (asynchronous) presentation/lecture content that users can view and comment on. 

Overview:

An Individual VoiceThread is for students to view and comment on video or presentation content.

• An Individual VoiceThread cannot require viewing or commenting by users, and there is an ungraded VoiceThread.

• For gradable VoiceThreads which require students to view and/or comment see the following article.

• An individual VoiceThread is linked to the VT homepage. Comments made on an Individual VoiceThread in the course will also appear on the VoiceThread in the VT home page.
