[BB] VoiceThread Workshops

Blackboard users,

VoiceThread is one of the many features available in our Blackboard Learn system. It is a strange feature; until you understand it, it makes no sense, at least to me. Here are some workshops that give you a chance to learn how it works so that you can decide whether it might be something you want to add to your course design.
