This year, the Duke Digital Initiative is piloting VoiceThread, online software for commenting on media. Later this Spring, we will be deciding on whether to make VoiceThread a fully-supported tool here at Duke. VoiceThread allows you to upload a movie, a set of images, a presentation or even a Word document and then leave comments on your media using text, simple drawing, audio or video.
We encourage anyone who has tried VoiceThread during the pilot to tell us about your experiences with the tool – how you have used it in courses, your general impressions of the tool, and if you would use it in your work. You can fill out the online survey , email comments about VoiceThread, or request a demonstration.
VoiceThread is open to the entire Duke community during this pilot phase – if you want to try it, just use your NetID to log on to the system at https://voicethread.oit.duke.edu/. You can also view an introductory video about the tool at the site.
