What does this mean for us? We have some new features with the update to LTI 1.3 that should make using VoiceThread easier. The new features include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>No longer need to manually enter a URL to create a VoiceThread assignment.<\/li>\n<li>Automatic copying of VoiceThread assignments and content between courses.<\/li>\n<li>Complete roster sync, which supports adds and drops seamlessly.<\/li>\n<li>Increased security and support for future VoiceThread features.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There was no VoiceThread down time at all for this update. All existing activities continue to work as they always have without any interruption or loss of content. Here are some things that resulted from the update:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Changes in workflow:<\/strong> The process for adding VoiceThread activities to a course is very similar. The only difference is that now you will select \u201cVoiceThread\u201d from your \u201cExisting Activities\u201d menu without needing to enter a URL manually.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Content retention:<\/strong> No work or assignment links were lost as part of this transition.
