My Take
Overview
Voxopop is a free audio collaboration service out of Australia dedicated to bringing people together in a civil space, an audio forum, so to speak and record conversations. Teachers or study leaders can easily sign up and create a “TalkGroup.” The creator has control over open, restricted, or private settings for the conversation and rules of conduct, as well as other features that help categorize and focus the discussion.
Concerns
None
Sample Uses
I see language arts teachers creating assignments around this service, or student study-leaders can use the service to record study sessions for later playback. Really, there are many possibilities here, especially for blended or wholly online classes.
Do I plan to use it?
Yes! I will suggest this service for my AP European History kids so that they can study together and archive their learnings.
Commitment and Learning Curve
Low, like simple-to-use low.
Best for ES MS or HS?
MS/HS
Cost:
Free!
