The directions below reference the new VoiceThread interface ( legacy interface will be available until Summer 2024). To switch to the new VoiceThread now, follow these steps.
There are two ways to add VoiceThread to your Sakai course site:
- Add VoiceThread in a Lessons Page
- Add VoiceThread in the Tool Menu
When deciding which method to use, be sure to consider how you want to use VoiceThread in your course.
