Intuitive and easy to use Tech support Video comments It offers us the opportunity to give students helpful feedback

GoReact allows me to give effective feedback on videos submitted by students. Unlike other video annotation systems, GoReact gives students a timecoded list of my comments. The comments can be text, audio, & movie recordings. It also allows me to upload files as comments, and to use rubrics, and tags (badges) for canned feedback. Regardless of the style of the comment, when a student clicks on it, a juxtaposed copy of their video advances to play from the timecode corresponding to the comment. This saves countless hours of frustration compared with previous approaches where teachers and students had to move back and forth between controlling a video and reading summary comments with time codes. GoReact is the only online software I am aware of that allows me as a teacher to post a video stimulus, to ask students to respond to the stimulus on webcam, and allows the student to submit both the stimulus and their response. Even better, the juxtaposed playback plays the stimulus the same way the student watched it, showing when the student paused or played the stimulus vidoe, while I am watching what they did on the webcam. Becasue the videos are seperate but linked by timecode. I can control things like video size and volume independently. All of this is accomplished through some savvy coding that keeps everything working with surprising reliability. As I watch both videos play in the same way the student recorded them, I can pause both videos at a click of a button, make a comment, then resume playback. The student can watch my feedback as captions below their video or click on a comment to watch the part of the video corresponding to my comment. There are a few video annotation tools out there, but no other product I am aware of can do everything GoReact can. Additionally, GoReact has been able to add very handy features requested by students and teachers. Features such as live feedback options, comment only stimulus assignments, group assignments, screen capture mode, etc.. GoReact is really the only viable tool for interpreter training feedback that allows me to see how the student played the stimulus while viewing their interpretation side by side with the stimulus. Each year GoReact becomes more reliable while still providing ongoing improvements. They constently push what can be done with html and video timing. This means they had to create native htm recording options to replace flash as well. Two big thumbs up for doing all of this in html. The continual improvement approach causes ocational glitches, but their support staff responds quickly to students and instructors. Altogether, we have as few glitches and problems with GoReact's cloud based solution as we did using the best screen capture software installed on our lab computers. However, with GoReact we don't have to worry about scheduling video exports or hosting a local NAS or server to enable secure access outside the lab. In the past, I wanted GoReact to hose stimulus as well so I didn't have to upload it myself, recently publishers have seen the value of allowing GoReact to host their content. This is a win win situation. I suspect to see more content become prepackaged in the future. Definately 5 out of 5 compared to anything else out there.

• Ich liebe die Funktion, direkt zu kommentieren, wenn in den Videos der Studenten etwas Relevantes auftaucht. Ich habe es für die Studenten so eingerichtet, dass sie auch die Videos ihrer Kommilitonen kommentieren können, jedoch wünsche ich mir, dass die Kommentare des Dozenten nicht für alle sichtbar sind. • Ich mag es, dass man ein Zeitlimit für GoReact-Videos eingeben kann, aber ich habe noch nicht herausgefunden, ob man eine Mindestzeit festlegen kann. • Ich mag die Funktion, Anweisungen für Dozentenaufnahmen hochzuladen.
