Abstract

Online educator facilitation, promoting student-centered learning development, requires integration of a variety of active participatory and self-directed learning processes. One such educational teaching strategy is VoiceThread (VT) integration, both as a tool for course content and assignments. Given today's pedagogical arena, there is an expectation for creative innovative teaching encouraging thoughtful engagement, fostering a sense of community while instilling proactive interactions and participation. Exploring both educators' and students' perception of this pedagogy is necessary to understand its implications in education.
