Greetings!

VoiceThread, an interactive presentation tool, has a sleek new look and some useful new features. On Wednesday afternoon, October 1st, the new VoiceThread will be enabled for A&M-Commerce.  Accessing VoiceThread through your online course shell by clicking on the VoiceThread Course Item will remain the same.

We've compiled several resources to help you get to know the new VoiceThread better. Full documentation of the upgrades can be found at VoiceThread Support<http://docs.voicethread.com/>. Additionally, tutorials on how to Create a VoiceThread<https://voicethread.com/new/myvoice/#thread/5942721/30522778> or to Share a VoiceThread<https://voicethread.com/new/myvoice/#thread/5954560/30604467> can also be viewed.

There is also a brief overview of the changes in the new VoiceThread attached as a PDF with screen shots, so you can see exactly what is new. The new VoiceThread works well in all modern web browsers.

This update was guided entirely by feedback from VoiceThreaders, and we're eager for you to start taking advantage of the powerful new changes.
