Voiveboards on blackboard are online discussion boards that use voice rather than text for communication. With voiceboards students and teachers can create threaded oral discussions, practice their oral communication skills such as pronunciation and record oral presentations. Voiceboards can be used for both teacher and peer feedback. Students can also use voiceboards to post their soundwork and teachers or peers can respond with voice messages accompanied with the corresponding transcript. For students who have a hard time pronuncing words, they can sumbit their soundwork and teachers can make oral comments and submit a written transcript with spaces for the parts that were not easily understood.
Another beneficial aspect of choosing voiceboards is the limitted knowledge or experience with technology required. Voiceboards do not require a high level of technological literacy on behalf of the teachers and students with minimum computer skills and/or literacy level can easily use them.
