- Podcaster enables instructors and students to create podcasts and subscribe to them.
- Voice Board enables instructors and students to engage in audio-based threaded discussions.
- Voice Direct enables instructors and students to engage in audio- and text-based chat sessions.
- Voice Email enables instructors and students to send voice recordings with e-mail messages.
