VoiceThread is a free online tool that allows users to create slideshow presentations with images, videos, and documents. Users can record audio or written comments that are attached to specific slides. Once shared, the presentation allows other users to collaboratively add their own comments. The tool has benefits like an easy to use interface, user identities and avatars, comment moderation, and integration with learning management systems and social media sites. However, in the free version there are limits such as only 3 presentations can be created, files are limited to 25MB, and exporting has limitations. It requires bandwidth and sometimes can run slowly.
