Group Assignments in VoiceThread

The following directions will guide students through handing in a group assignment on VoiceThread. 

Students can work collaboratively on a VoiceThread assignment. One person will need to need to create a VT to share with the rest of the group. It just takes a couple of easy steps.

• One person needs to create a VT from the Moodle home page and share it
• Other members of the group can edit and comment 
• Everyone can turn in the assignment so they may be graded individually

****If you have already started a VT in through the assignment link follow these directions to share it with your group.
