Using Brightspace tools, can an activity be created thatʻs similar to using VoiceThread (VT)?

Hi Community!

Iʻm new to Brightspace and would like to know if itʻs possible to have an activity with capabilities similar to what faculty and students could do in VT using Brightspace tools. For example, VT letʻs users combine images, video, text, and audio to create, collaborate, and communicate in multimedia conversations. Thanks for any thoughts and ideas you may have!

Hi @Cindy.Y.971
It's been a little while since I last took a look at VoiceThread but I think in place of that tool I might recommend trying out the D2L VideoNote Tool.

There are a few examples of how Customers have used Video Note in their courses that I can share here

Another option might be to take a look at some of the Video Assignment Options in Bongo.

Thanks, @Stefanie.B.518, for your reply and the resources that you provided. I will take a look and see if Video Note could be a suitable replacement. 🙂
