GoReact
Whether you’re already using GoReact or curious how it can improve your feedback process, this guide is for you. The tools in GoReact are designed to optimize feedback, helping learners gain deeper insights and actionable takeaways. Features like audio and video comments or markers plus AI-enhanced tools, make it easy to provide feedback that’s clear, engaging and tailored to individual needs..
Whether you’re giving feedback on a student presentation, a teaching demonstration, or a skill performance, adding layers of rich feedback in GoReact can help your learners understand not just what they did well (or need to work on), but how to improve. Let’s dive into some of our favorite tips and tricks to make your feedback in GoReact more dynamic and impactful.
While text comments are a staple in giving feedback, sometimes they don’t quite capture the full picture. That’s where audio and video comments come in. These tools allow you to speak directly to your learners, adding tone, emphasis, and nuance that can be hard to convey with just written words. GoReact Advanced users can also use AI-
Imagine you’re providing feedback on a student’s speech. Instead of writing, “You need to vary your tone more,” you could record an audio comment where you demonstrate the vocal variety you want to hear. The student can then listen to your voice and get a real sense of what you mean, making the feedback more tangible and actionable.
And it gets even better with video comments. If you’re reviewing a student’s teaching demonstration, for example, you could record a short video showing how you would handle a specific classroom management situation. Seeing your example in action helps students connect your feedback to real-life applications, making it easier for them to practice and improve.
GoReact Advanced users can also use AI-generated comments that provide immediate feedback to learners, saving instructors valuable time.
Sometimes, learners need to know when something’s becoming a pattern—whether it’s positive or an area for improvement. This is where markers come in handy. Markers in GoReact are quick, easy-to-understand colored icons that you can apply to videos at specific time stamps, providing a clear visual cue for your feedback. For instance, if you’re reviewing a student’s presentation and they tend to speak too quickly during key points, you can add a marker every time it happens. This makes it easy for them to identify the pattern and focus on improving that specific behavior. On the flip side, if they consistently maintain great eye contact with their audience, you can use a positive marker to reinforce that behavior throughout the video.
Markers are also a fantastic way to save time. Instead of writing out “great pacing” or “watch your tone” every time, you can just drop in a marker, and students will instantly understand the point you’re making. Plus, they can go back and review all the marked moments at once, making it easier to see trends and track their progress.
The AI Assistant in GoReact also delivers pre-determined markers to provide consistent feedback on recurring patterns, like pacing or tone. These automated markers ensure learners receive immediate feedback that drives deeper self-reflection.
One of the most powerful features of GoReact is the ability to layer different types of feedback. Instead of sticking to one mode—like only using text or only using markers—why not combine them to create a richer, more engaging experience?
For example, let’s say a student gives a teaching demonstration. You might use a marker to flag moments where they struggled with transitions between activities. Then, you could leave a video comment explaining how to manage those transitions more smoothly. Finally, you can wrap it up with a text comment summarizing key takeaways.
By layering your feedback, you’re helping students engage with the content in multiple ways, which increases the chances that they’ll absorb and act on your insights.
One of the most powerful ways to guide your learners is by showing them how it’s done. GoReact makes it easy to do this by allowing you to leave video comments that demonstrate a best practice or provide a visual example.
Let’s say a student is struggling with body language during a speech. You can record a video of yourself demonstrating the kind of gestures, posture, or facial expressions you’d like to see. Or grab one from the library. This adds a whole new dimension to your feedback because students aren’t just reading about what they should do—they’re seeing it in action.
This approach is especially useful in fields like teaching, nursing, healthcare or public speaking, where skills are highly performative. Seeing a model performance helps students internalize the behavior more effectively than reading a description alone.
At GoReact, we believe feedback should be more than just a list of things to fix or improve—it should be a dialogue that helps students understand where they’re excelling and where they can grow. By taking advantage of tools like audio and video comments and markers, and our AI Assistant tools, you can add depth, variety, and clarity to your feedback, making it more meaningful and impactful.
