In this session, we will explore the ways that VoiceThread can help your students develop an AI-aware skillset and avoid the academic pitfalls of having a homework-completing co-pilot available 24/7/365. Understanding the human advantage is a critical component of AI readiness curriculum, and VoiceThread is the perfect platform to showcase, preserve, and develop these human-advantaged skills.
VoiceThread Advanced: Skills and Ideas

This training is designed for faculty members who have mastered all of the basic technical aspects of using VoiceThread, but would like to see some alternate pedagogical approaches. We will take a deep dive into some uses cases that demonstrate how to incorporate elements of storytelling and game-based learning into your VoiceThread activities. We will discuss playback settings like “one conversation” and timed comments, and we will have an open Q&A throughout the training.
