Voicethread Experience

The Future of Distance Learning Group

Chirayu developed our concept of leading each slide with a quote.  We each developed three slides apiece for the general concepts of addressing technology in distance education, collaboration in distance learning and institutional and instructor roles in distance learning.  I edited the presentation and for uniform font and size and uploaded it to Voicethread. We each added to the introduction slide and then narrated our own slides.  Google docs initially was difficult to edit once slides were there but was manageable after some practice.

Voicethread was easily navigated by a novice however the formatting of the upload was not uniform and that was hard to navigate as a new user with limited time.  Uploading the presentation was a simple step and adding voice comments was also easily facilitated  I actually was excited to learn of voicethread as I recently made a powerpoint presentation with video and audio guidance that would have worked so well in voicethread however I took the more difficult route.  Voice thread's ability to use live patient audio and video will make it perfect for practice identification of various medical conditions that take patient experience to master.
