VoiceThread is a web 2.0 tool that turns media files into asynchronous conversations using voice, video, or text comments. This book is a pedagogical support resource for educators seeking to understand how to use VoiceThread to deliver content infused with human presence, build online community through asynchronous communications, and improve student learning outcomes.
The author, Michelle Pacansky-Brock, is a noted online educator and has received two Sloan-C awards, one specifically for her use of VoiceThread. The book compiles years of Pacansky-Brock's teaching research and practices into one place and is illustrated with video excerpts from her own VoiceThread activities and links to samples.
The book is a resource for online instructors, faculty development specialists, instructional designers, and graduate students.
