IMPORTANT:  Be sure to use Firefox to create VoiceThread links in Blackboard.  We are currently having an issue with the Blackboard integration working with Chrome and Edge.  Attempting to use Chrome or Edge to add a VoiceThread to a Blackboard course will result in being sent back to the My Blackboard page without the VoiceThread being added.  All is well when using Firefox. 

Note that VoiceThread is now added to Coursework using the Build Content button rather than the Tools button.  Some resources may show using Tools to add VoiceThread to a course.  Use Build Content instead.
