LMS - VoiceThread
I use VoiceThread to create engaging online discussions that I can monitor and participate in to provide feedback to students and create a sense of connectedness to the learning community. Each VoiceThread recording becomes an assessment marker on the language learning timeline, which I believe is an indispensable evaluation tool for language teachers.
VoiceThread can be used by language teachers as a powerful evaluation tool for L2 speaking assessment, for its recording capabilities, and because each student post is time-stamped and archived for future evaluation and assessment.
VoiceThread is simple to use and accepts recordings from microphones, cameras, phones, and previously recorded files.
Voicethread is customizable and more engaging than written discussion boards.
