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.
