    New VoiceThread Features: Fall 2026

    Join us for an interactive workshop where we’ll explore VoiceThread’s newest features, including integrated screen recording, the enhanced Postcard View, accessibility improvements, and the new VoiceThread Courses environment. You’ll see how these updates can make teaching, learning, and feedback more engaging, efficient, and human-centered. Throughout the session, you’ll have opportunities to work hands-on with these new tools so you can leave ready to use them in your own courses.
