Please note that you cannot use GoReact assignments that were copied over to your next term's Canvas courses. GoReact assignments are linked to a term's course ID. When the term ends, the GoReact assignments are inactive and will not work if copied over to a new course for an upcoming enrollment.
This article is for faculty who want to set up a gradable GoReact assignment that students can submit to in Canvas.
Article Overview
1. Create an Assignment
1.1. Navigate to the Course's Modules
The Modules tab can be found in the Course Navigation to the left in Canvas.
1.2. Add a Module Item
Choose the module to add the assignment to and click the plus symbol to the right of that module.
1.3. Create an Assignment
Choose to add an Assignment and Create Assignment. Give the new assignment a name and finally Add Item.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you have selected to add an Assignment, this will create the corresponding column in the course's Grades that is integrated and connected to the GoReact assignment. Selecting External Tool on this step will not create columns in Grades!
1.4. The new assignment has been added to the module.
The assignment has been created, but it has not been linked to GoReact yet.
We will set up the link between Canvas and GoReact by modifying the Submission Type in Part 2 below.
2. Change the Assignment Submission Type to GoReact.
2.1. Open the Assignment
Open the assignment by clicking on its name inside of the module.
2.2. Edit the Assignment Settings
Edit the assignment by clicking on the Edit button on the top right.
Add your assignment specific recording and feedback instructions inside the Rich Content Editor (RCE).
Add the Total number of Points the GoReact Assignment will be worth. This is important to set up on the Canvas side because this will push to GoReact and student submissions you grade in GoReact will appear in the Canvas Grade book.
2.3. Change the Submission Type to GoReact.
Change the Submission Type to External Tool by clicking on the dropdown box.
Click the Find button in the Submission Type box.
Scroll down to (1) choose GoReact from the list of External Tools that has popped up. (2) Click Select.
Note: Check the "Load This Tool In A New Tab" option. This option is shown in the student version of working in GoReact assignments in Canvas and is preferable for students because they have their entire screen as a workspace to record and edit their GoReact submissions.
2.4. Finalize and Save the Link Between Canvas and GoReact.
Save the assignment by scrolling down and clicking on the button on the bottom right of the page. The assignment is now linked to GoReact.
Now that the GoReact assignment has been created, continue to Step 3 below to configure important assignment properties, such as points!
3. Configure GoReact Assignment settings.
Note:" if you chose "Load This Tool In A New Tab" when selecting the Submission Type, you will click the gray load button to configure assignment settings.
Click Blank Assignment.
Configure assignment settings in GoReact by choosing the Assignment Type in the drop down menu.
For this example, we will use the default options: Standard.
GoReact now utilizes a Task List to create a step by step process for students to go through their GoReact Assignment Submission. Faculty can use the Task List to enable additional assignment settings.
To enable additional assignment settings in GoReact, click on the "Create Your Video" Task located on the left-hand side. You will see options to enable Live Review, Group recording session, Time limit, Single recording attempt (test), Participants slides and Enable Guest Review for Participants.
3.1. Enable Peer Review
To allow peer review, you first have to add "Give Peer Feedback" to the Task List by selecting +Add.
Once it's in the Task List, you can select the Feedback Privacy from the drop down menu.
3.2. Enter Task Instructions
Each Task Item in the Task List can have Task Instructions added. Click on the Task in the Task List, then click +Task Instructions.
Then type your instructions using the content editor.
