**Building Collaborative Learning Spaces with VoiceThread, a Learning Object** //Renee Adams, Graduate Student, Educational Technology, University of Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu, HI, USA, adamsrk@hawaii.edu // //Juli Umetsu, Graduate Student, Educational Technology, University of Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu, HI, USA, juliu@hawaii.edu //

A VoiceThread is an online media album that allows a group of people to easily make comments on images, videos, and documents. An entire group conversation can be collected from anywhere in the world and then shared in one simple place, resulting in unique online learning spaces that are learner-centered, knowledge-centered, assessment-centered, and community-centered. This Learning Object for VoiceThreads is broken down into a single "bite size" chunk that is meant to fit within a short 15-minute time frame. The objective of the learning object is to teach users how to comment on an existing VoiceThread. In addition, we have provided information on how to create a VoiceThread, along with exemplars from a variety of educators and links to additional resources. Check this out for some fascinating ideas that will provide another way to extend online teaching and learning while addressing important educational principles.
