Posting to an Existing VoiceThread
Navigate to the location in the course where your instructor has posted the VoiceThread activity (designated by vt icon) and click on the link.
You will be passed on to the course area within VoiceThread. If you have never used VoiceThread before, you will be prompted to set up a password and complete your profile. If you have already used VoiceThread, you will be prompted to login with your VT password (not your NetID password).
