Whether it's Distance Learning or adjunct coursework, a VoiceThread allows educators to use a single tool to host secure conversations around almost any type of media, whether it's videos, documents, images, or presentations. Present course materials within a rich, online environment that fosters a warmer and more engaging dialogue around ideas and concepts.
VoiceThread has 3 Higher Ed solutions: a single Pro account, the Higher Ed Manager subscription and Custom School Integration, with user authentication and interface skinning.
Pro Account
For a single Higher Ed user looking to use VoiceThread in a larger capacity, the Pro account is great way to get more out of VoiceThread immediately. Read more about VoiceThread Pro.
Higher Ed Manager
VoiceThread's Higher Ed Manager allows educators and administrators to create accounts for students and colleagues (at a significant discount) and the ability to create Groups that collate content and contacts automatically (watch the Manager tutorial). The Manager includes a Pro account and 50 Basic accounts, perfect for classes, school organizations, or departments to quickly start harnessing the power of VoiceThread's asynchronous colloborative media. For information on pricing, visit our Higher Ed Pricing page or download our Higher Ed brochure.
Custom School Integration
Through a Custom School Integration schools can have their VoiceThread colloboration reside within a customizable VoiceThread portal. This portal includes a top-level VoiceThread domain (i.e. unc.voicethread.com), access to VoiceThread user authentication tools (using LDAP, Shibboleth, Kerberos, Apache access control, or custom), and the ability to have the portal's interface 'skinned' to reflect the school's colors and logos. Please call us at +1 919 724 4486 for inquiries on a Custom School Integration for your school.
