22. Fashion Institute of Technology FIT has a site license that integrates VT into Blackboard using LTI v 1.1. Integration into almost any LTI compliant LMS is possible, including Canvas, Moodle, and D2L. LTI: http://www.imsglobal.org/toolsinteroperability2.cfm More on sitelicensing later.

26. New Features Direct Reply A direct reply allows you to insert a comment directly after someone else’s comment. Instead of recording a comment and having it appear at the end of conversation.

27. New Features Private Reply Similar to a Direct Reply, a Private reply is made in-response-to another person’s comment, but what makes it fundamentally different, is that these private replies exist in a permanently private branch off of the main conversation, visible and accessible by only the two parties.

28. New Features Threaded conversations If this feature is enabled for a individual VoiceThread (it’s off by default) commenters may create new branches (Threads) of the primary conversation. A branch can only be ‘one-level’ deep, there are no branches-off-of-branches.

29. Licensing Option Profiles • Free individual account: Allows anyone ages 13 and up to create up to 5 VoiceThreads, comment by microphone and text, and share your VoiceThreadsvia link. You cannot delete and replace VTs, to maximize use of the five limit, or upload audio files as comments. • Individual (annual) faculty license: For an annual fee of $99, you get (a) 1 Pro (manager) account; and (b) 50 Basic accounts. Pro has unlimited VT production capacity; the Basic accounts can each publish 50 VTs.

30. Licensing Option Profiles • Campus-wide license:500 users would be approximately $3,000. • Procurement discussions are underway at SUNY. • From there:< 1000 accounts = $6.00 per user • 1000 > 1400 accounts = $4.50 per user • 1500 > 2400 accounts = $3.83 per user • 2500> accounts = $3.20 per user • Note:  For a full (unlimited) Site License: about $2 per user

31. Campus-Wide Benefits • LTI integration is simple. • Roster synchronization is seamless and supports roles appropriate to the student and teacher. • Students have their own VoiceThread Home page, to author and collaborate with others. • Authentication through the campus assures appropriate privacy protection. • Start up training webinars and ongoing support is included.

32. Keep in Mind… • 3rd Party Cookies must be enabled • Set-up of collaborative team functions requires a premium account. • Recent upgrades do not match much of the homegrown support that has been published by users. • As with any app or tech-based assignment, VT requires a learning curve.
