Guide Topic...

GoReact is a cloud-based video assessment and feedback platform commonly used in education and training. It helps instructors, students, and trainees record, review, and receive feedback on performances.

This tool allows users to:

  • Record themselves directly on the platform (e.g., teaching a lesson, giving a presentation) or upload pre-recorded videos.
  • Instructors or peers watch the video and leave comments at exact timestamps. Feedback can include text comments, audio notes and video responses.

This guide walks you through the process of using GoReact on Canvas courses.
