All of the documentation in the Instructor section still applies to the GoReact app in D2L/Brightspace, the only thing that is different is where you will create/access the course content.
Important Note
Accessing GoReact via D2L/Brightspace is a different experience than just going to goreact.com, because the two systems do not communicate.
To create/access your course/assignment, please log in through D2L/Brightspace. You will never need to go to goreact.com to access a D2L/Brightspace course/assignment.
Before Starting
The GoReact app must be installed by your D2L/Brightspace Administrator / IT Help Desk before you can add it to your assignments. See our Administrator setup of GoReact in D2L/Brightspace for more information.
Creating GoReact Assignments in D2L/Brightspace
Please follow these steps to create your GoReact assignment in D2L/Brightspace.
Note, your view in D2L/Brightspace may be slightly different, but the same steps should apply. If you need further instruction, please reach out to your D2L/Brightspace Administrator / IT Help Desk.
- Navigate to your Brightspace course and select "Content."
- Add a new (or select an existing) module.
- Click "Add Existing"
- Select "External Tool Activity."
- Scroll down and select "Create New LTI Link."
- Enter a title for your assignment and enter https://lti.goreact.com/lti/v1 as the URL.
- Click "Create and Insert."
- When you've finished setting up the assignment, click the three dots at the top right of the Brightspace assignment and select "Edit."
- Select "Open in a new tab" and click "Save." For the best overall experience, we highly recommend loading the GoReact tool in a new tab. Otherwise, GoReact may be unable to access the camera and microphone.
- Important Step: Lastly, as the instructor, you must open the GoReact assignment and finish selecting any desired settings before your students are able to submit.
