VoiceThread
...
VoiceThread is a tool for creating interactive threaded discussions integrated into Moodle and Blackboard Learn. It is also a simple option for recorded student presentations. You can think of VoiceThread as a conversation around a slideshow of media files. These media files can be PowerPoint slides, PDFs, images, video files, audio files, and more. You can mix these types of media, so your VoiceThread could include six presentation slides, four images, a video, and two more presentation slides at the end. Once you have your media, you and your students can add comments using voice (through your computer’s microphone), video (using your computer’s webcam), or text (using the keyboard on your computer).
