Abstract	As enrollment in distance education courses continues to increase, it is clear that online course delivery is here to stay. And all online courses today utilize a web- or cloud-based Learning Management System that includes a text-based discussion forum, commonly called a 'discussion board', which is the primary mode of communication within the course site. This study investigates the use of voice-based technology as an alternative to typing in text for submitting discussion posts. An 18-question survey was administered to in-service and pre-service teachers enrolled in two online graduate educational technology courses. The results were somewhat mixed, but overall, the participants provided positive feedback when utilizing a voice-based application to complete online class discussions. Ninety-four percent of the participants had never used the voice-based application before, which likely accounted for some portion of the less-than-positive feedback. (As Provided).
