Going with GoReact was the right way to Go!

We use GoReact to help with observations videos of our candidates in the classroom. Candidates upload them and faculty grade them according to a rubric for the assignment. It has allowed us to cut physical travel down and save the university money. We use it several classes along with all of our internship courses. They have two video submissions along with two actual face to face observations. Depending on the semester we have between 100-500 students using it.
