The following list contains brief use cases of faculty and instructors throughout Penn State using VoiceThread in unique ways for teaching and learning. These use cases describe the basic designs utilized by the instructor, reported outcomes as well as possible future uses for VoiceThread.

Among the many case studies included here I found the article by Matt Meyer "Using VoiceThread for Weekly Peer Topic Discussions" the most helpful. The article details how small 'discussion groups' of 6-7 students per group were provided with an initial prompt and some framing statements. Individuals were required to respond to the prompt according to specific requirements, such as "include one personal story," "include 2 questions to the other group members to respond to," and "must comment in that particular VoiceThread discussion 3 different times during the assignment for the week. This is very similar to what I envision doing in my course.

Interesting information about the use of VoiceThread as a teaching tool.

I have not yet purchased this ebook, but I'm considering it. The author is well-known in the edtech and online/blended learning community.

Curious - how many technologies have we used are on this list? :-)

Good taste. I didn't see Screencastomatic, and I'm very surprised that VoiceThread is not higher, it's such a great program.
