- Go to the Content Area of your course. Go to Tools, and in the menu click VoiceThread.
2. Create the VoiceThread assignment like you would any other assignment in Blackboard. Fill out the name and description, when you’ll display it to students, etc. You must click “Yes” to “Enable Evaluation” under the Grading section.
*Important* If you do not enable evaluation, then VoiceThread will not be able to automatically integrate your assignment into the Grade Center.
3. Click Submit. Once you’ve submitted, the assignment will appear in your content area.
4. To continue setting up your VoiceThread, you will need to click the VoiceThread link you just created, which will take you to this screen.
5. Click on Assignment Builder to create a grading column for the assignment in the Grade Center. Once you’ve clicked the Assignment Builder, you’ll need to decide what kind of assignment you’d like to create. You could either have your students create a VoiceThread, Comment on a VoiceThread or just watch a VoiceThread. A common use of VoiceThread is to utilize the Comment Assignment instead of a typical Discussion Board post.
6. Assuming you’ve clicked the Submit a Comment type of assignment, you’ll need to attach a VoiceThread in order to finish the creation of this assignment.
7. Click on Create Assignment.
