Create a course by selecting “New Course” from the navigation and adding a course name and dates. Note: Instructors will also set student access to the tool. Instructors using a Sage title will select the $15 option when creating a course. Students who purchase a new textbook pay with an access code.

Within a Course, instructors create Activities for each assignment or recording activity. This helps group the videos for each assignment. From your Dashboard, click the “New Activity” button at bottom left. Then complete information for the Activity.

Within an Activity, instructors can:

• Add additional permissions (such as Self-Critique or Peer Critique)
• Choose feedback elements to include (Comments, an End Note, Score, or a thumbs up/down ratings line)
• Add instructions for recorders and/or reviewers
• Specify a Source Media if this is an activity requiring a stimulus video. (For example, an instructor could upload a video with mock interview questions for students to pause and respond to. Or an instructor could upload a video to which students record a language interpreting response.)

When creating an Activity, instructors may want to use GoReact rubric feature to customize assessments. Rubrics can contain categories of items, individual response items, and auto-score totals. 

The following rubric element types are available:

• Individual element (possible points for an item)
• Checkbox element (pts earned/deducted when an item is checked)
• Numeric scale (i.e. 1,2,3,4,5 rating)
• Qualitative scale (i.e. Poor, Fair, Good, Excellent)
• Text response (open text box item)
• Category and overall totals

From within an Activity, instructors click the "Add" button to set up a rubric.

Note: Once a rubric is added, it stays in the instructor’s Library for future Activities.
Then instructors create and save a custom rubric.
