How to add VoiceThread to your Canvas course
VoiceThread is a web-based application that allows you to place collections of media -- like images, videos, documents, and presentations -- at the center of an asynchronous conversation. Tufts pays for VoiceThread access for students and faculty.
To learn more about VoiceThread, see: https://sites.tufts.edu/ets/voicethread/
Open the Modules tool in Canvas
You can add VoiceThread links to the Modules section of your course.
For more information on creating modules, see: https://community.canvaslms.com/videos/1114-modules-creation-and-management-instructors
Click the "+" button for the module where you want to add a VoiceThread link

Select "External Tool" from the "Add Item" drop-down

Give your VoiceThread link a title by editing the link you've just added.
About VoiceThread link titles:
We typically recommend adding two VoiceThread links to your course, naming them as follows:
- VoiceThread Course Home
- My VoiceThreads
You'll see why this is helpful in the next step.
