VoiceThread Reviews & Product Details

Produced recordings, etc. are of great quality. Users can work with recordings, add comments etc. fairly easily. Integration of VT into various platforms is straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

VT is cumbersome beyond the basics of viewing, recording, etc. As an educator, it is okay for essential delivery, but grading, student use, etc., is not user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Similar to PowerPoint its main goal is to present information to an audience and put that presentation online, but here is the twist. Not only can you put it online, but anyone who watches the presentation can also leave their own comments, annotations, and even video/audio response for each slide! That is pretty cool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When uploading PowerPoint can look jagged and unclean. Also crops PowerPoint to for the dimensions of the Voice Thread application. The presentation of the file looked terrible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

VoiceThread allows for students to speak, use video, share images, draw on images, and collaborate. It provides a lot of flexibility and ways of interaction. It's very easy for students to use if the professor has set it up. With support, students can create their own VoiceThreads, as well. That means they can create presentations with voice and pictures that other students can view and respond to. VoiceThread also goes above and beyond to make sure slides are accessible.

I dislike that sometimes the interface with D2L makes it so that students think they are posting, but they are not. It's really a mess--and in the past it would create one gradebook column and continuously overwrite it, which is a problem. So I don't use it in D2L but rather link outside. However, if students create a free account instead of using their school account--which doesn't always work--then their work becomes invisible to the people who use the school account. There are some bugs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Putting audio over content is fairly easy with the platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the functions are difficult, also not being able to interchange audio with different slides if needed is frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that this adds new dimensions to the way students can interact with each other and the material in the class. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is not as intuitive as I'd like, and it seems that there is room to consider more options to open the ways it can be used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The editability, combined with ease of use with voice, video, and text comments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Grading and assessment integration with LMS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Voicethread is an excellent platform to share a presentation. You are able to individually record slides while changing the content of them at any time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The one thing that I dislike is that VoiceThread doesn't have a way for you to show a cursor at the slides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being able to leave voice messages (as opposed to just text) enhances the UX and allows for an experience more akin to F2F while still allowing for flexibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, I can't think of anything I dislike (maybe a bit more of a reference option for links to sources would be a nice feature). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is an awesome tool for instructors, teachers to use for various purposes. It is easy to use and user friendly. Especially those who watch the VT find it a click away to watch videos and even comment on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
