We believe that a stronger human presence in any course will help all types of learners, but achieving this can be a challenge. VoiceThread is the solution. It improves instructor immediacy and social presence in courses while maintaining the flexibility of an asynchronous learning environment. Professors report an improvement in the quality of work that students submit and increased engagement with the coursework when they use VoiceThread. Hearing student voices and seeing their faces helps with comprehension assessment and building social connections.
