What is GoReact?
GoReact is a learning app especially suited for student video presentations or demonstrations. Instructors can watch the video and give rich, time-stamped feedback on the video; peer review is also an available feature, as are small group presentations. GoReact can also be used to elicit student responses to a stimulus video posted by the instructor.
