Allowing students to introduce themselves in your course helps build a sense of community and engages students from the start. VoiceThread, Padlet, and Forums are excellent tools for facilitating course introductions.

If you are ready to incorporate introductions into your spring courses, you can learn more about introduction tools in the Course Introductions: Forums, VoiceThread, and Padlet Teaching Resources article.
