Configuring Integration Links
After you have added VoiceThread to your course, you’ll need to configure the link according to what you want students to see when they click on it.
Individual VT
Display any VoiceThread that you have created. This option is the best way to create a VoiceThread discussion board or lecture. Students will not need to look through a collection of VoiceThreads to find the correct one; they will be taken straight to it. How to link to a specific instructor video in VoiceThread
Course View
Display the collection of VoiceThreads that have been shared with your course. This is a good option when you want students to find and comment on each other’s work or if you want to allow students to review all course materials prior to an exam. How to create a “My VoiceThreads” link
VT Home
Display all of a student’s VoiceThread content in a single view. This option is useful if you want to create a simple portal into VoiceThread without directing students to any specific content. How to create a “VoiceThread Course Home” link
