This page provides instructions for how to re-link a VoiceThread in AsULearn that was created prior to May 15, 2021. 

In May 2021, our LTI integration with VoiceThread was upgraded to allow for deep linking. This has caused a change in the workflow for how VoiceThread content is added in AsULearn. If you have VoiceThread links in your AsULearn courses that were created before May 2021 and have been copied or imported into a new course, you will probably see the following error message when you click on the link (Figure 1).

If you this message appear, follow the steps below to simply relink your VoiceThread content.
