Assignment Types

Please note:

Beginning December 2022, some non-educational institutions will have different terminology used in their GoReact experience. The terms Folder/Course, and Activity/Assignment, and Score/Grade are interchangeable.

Assignment Types


There are three assignment types available on GoReact: Standard, Stimulus, and Comment Only. You can review more in-depth information on each assignment type below.

  • Standard

The Standard assignment type is the most commonly used assignment type in GoReact. (Previously known as a Self-Submit activity.)  Without any additional settings, this assignment type allows participants to record or upload a standalone video and submit it for feedback.  With additional settings, this assignment type can be configured to allow live review, group recordings, or presenter slides.

  • Stimulus

Stimulus assignments allow participants to record a video response to a prompt video (or other media) that you select. The recorded response will then be synchronized to the stimulus media. This type is commonly used in interpreting and other language activities, for mock interviews, and other prompt-oriented responses.

  • Comment Only

Comment Only assignments allow participants to evaluate a video without recording their own video response. This assignment type is useful when students need to review a presentation/speech or anytime you want students to simply watch a video and provide feedback.
