VoiceThread

Robinson's article does not seem to relate directly to the concept of VoiceThread. Given his focus on interpreting the psychological states of others in managing communication, article seems to relate most directly to synchronous activities. While VoiceThread could be used synchronously, it doesn't seem particularly suited for that purpose. There are tools out there that might allow for asynchronous communication that would require learners to negotiate meaning and perhaps be suited for the kinds of tasks that Robinson discusses. I can imagine uses of Blackboard's Voice Presentation that could promote these kinds of interactions, but I'm not sure doing so would allow for the need for fluency that Robinson's concepts seem to entail. Am I missing something?
