VoiceThread
What is VoiceThread?
VoiceThread is an interactive multimedia online learning tool for enhancing student engagement and online presence. With VoiceThread, instructors and/or students can create, share, and comment on images, Microsoft PowerPoint presentations, videos, audio files, documents, and PDFs, using a microphone, webcam, text, phone, and audio-file upload.
Availability
This product is in the “Reviewed but Not Approved for General Use” category, which means significant issues were identified that could impact a user’s ability to interact with and use the product effectively. It is strongly recommended that you identify a more accessible application approved for use at TC.
Accessibility
VoiceThread fully or partially meets the majority of the Teachers College Accessibility Criteria. Captions are not automatically generated, so it is recommended that users upload captions manually or through an integration with a professional third party service. Screen reader support is only available within VoiceThread Universal.
There are many essential elements of VoiceThread that are not navigable via screen reader regardless of mode. Instructors are strongly advised to work with OASID to equitably navigate any of these accessibility concerns. Students that disclose a disability that presents barriers to using VoiceThread should be encouraged to reach out to OASID at oasid@tc.edu.
