Echo360 Reviews & Product Details

The tool is easy to use and video can be uploaded easily. The assignment features offer ways for instructors to create peer sharing/ class sharing or individual views between instructor and teacher. The comments section is also great because the instructor and other peers can leave the participant (teacher) comments/suggestions about specific video instances.

The downside is that participants cannot create their own code buttons. The instructor needs to create the code buttons that the participant will use to analyze their uploaded video. This can be troublesome if you are using the tool for reflective purposes and want the participant to create their own code buttons based on their goal/ feelings etc. Therefore I would not say the tool allows for much autonomy which is a huge downside for me. Other free video coding tools like V-note offer this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My experience with GoReact has been outstanding! For me it is intuitive, user friendly, easy to maneuver through, use and manage. Best of all, it allows me to give specific feedback to each ST about every moment and component of their lesson, their teaching strategies, classroom management, best practices and a ST can watch themselves teach and read my comments at the exact time they see what it is they are doing. There is nothing better than this! Having the ability to go back and watch themselves teach is a gift that they can learn and grow from since their comments are timestamped on their video in real-time. This is a truly authentic, purposeful and meaningful way to mentor, guide and support our student teachers. After I watch their video and create my written observation form for their file, I share the written document with them and my ST and I have a phone or Zoom conference debrief so we are still connecting personally, discussing and going over everything together at a time that is convenient for both of us. All of my student teachers have used GoReact for some of their observations this term and all agree it is easy to use, to upload their videos and they greatly appreciate having both their video and my written comments and observations of their lesson from beginning to end to refer back to and learn from. I hope GoReact continues to be an option we use in the future! Thank you for providing this great tool for us so we can better serve and meet the needs of our dedicated student teachers!

That we didn't use it before last semester! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Your customer service is the champ! Reliable and prompt! Whenever I need assistance, someone is there to help me out in a pinch. At GoReact, there are user-friendly features, and what helps, there's a partnership with another platform that I use for teaching. It works so well for me, and I'm grateful for the excellent service and attention to my needs because the customer support understands what I'm using to teach and assessing students' abilities in language progression.

I would like more self-help videos in American Sign Language. There is not enough material. All more the better! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GoReact not only was the answer to all of our needs as we transitioned into online therapy training after the beginning of the COVID-19. It has completely enhanced our training practices. It is easy to use and simple to understand. I couldn't be happier with it! We have used it to record telehealth sessions in our clinic and to teach therapeutic skills in clinical classes. I've also used it to measure skill development. It greatly enhances the type of feedback I can give to my students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are one or two downsides. For example, if you are recording video through a web conference call (e.g. zoom; which we use for clinical services) it will not record the computer audio if you are using headphones. We have tried all sorts of fixes, but haven't ever been able to get that to work. Unfortunately, the web conferencing doesn't always work very well either. Anytime I've had more than 3 people, we've had issues with sharing screens and people getting kicked out of the meeting. It is certainly not as effective as other web conferencing softwares.

GoReact gives the ability for student teachers, as well as novice teachers, to see and hear their behaviors which puts the professors' comments within a context which they can better understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GoReact meets all of the needs to provide timely and effective feedback for student teachers. As I continue to use GoReact I may find areas for improvement; however, at this point, I do not have any recommendations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ability to do real-time markers and feedback. I also like that you can do a video and voice-recorded response for your students. With our internal platform, you were limited to only 2 minutes to provide feedback which wasn't often enough. Students also say that it is easy to review their peer speeches. Another aspect I appreciate is that I was able to provide a rubric for peer reviews and a separate one for my reviews. That was an important consideration for me when testing the product.

The issue has since been resolved, but there were no page numbers with our textbook A Pocket Guide to Public Speaking in the online textbook. Considering that I often say reference page ___ in my assignments, this created quite an issue for me. It has since been fixed, however.

I also wish there was a way in LaunchPad to assign students which speeches they will evaluate? For example, each student is randomly assigned 4 peer speeches to evaluate? I just always feel so bad for the student who only has 1 review while some of his/her peers have 6 or 7 reviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GoReact is very user-friendly. I like how you can upload videos in a variety of formats. GoReact allows me to communicate and share ideas with colleagues who I would not be able to otherwise due to distance. Go React makes it easy to communicate ideas and feedback to colleagues. It has helped me self-assess my teaching skills as I use it for student teaching observations. I appreciate being able to receive real-time detailed feedback from observers and colleagues.

One downside of using GoReact is I can only see the student view. Sometimes this can cause communication/understanding gaps between the group owner and the group members. I have never had any technical issues with GoReact personally, but one of my administrators had difficulties when setting up a new group. From the group member perspective of the website, I was unable to support her in solving these issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part of GoReact is the comment feature for the videos. We grade student presentations for class, and giving students feedback during the entire video presentation is excellent. You can stop and comment anytime during the video for feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Using the tool for Academic feedback for student presentations, so far, the most annoying part is the uploading of videos to the system if you are doing it from Google drive. There isn't a feature yet from uploading videos directly from Google drive. But they say they are working on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface is straightforward for student use. As a professor, I incorporated a GoReact presentation as part of course requirements due to the shift to online classes at my university. Students were able to upload slides and record their presentations easily with GoReact. Though I did not use the grading function, it was an option that was available for professors/teachers. I liked that the recording would show a video of the student presenter, their slides, and a timer simultaneously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With group presentations, the uploading of the slides is less straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how GoReact allows students to record on the site or upload from their phone or other devices. It makes the uploading process much easier. The students also can review their videos and make comments, which is helpful when having students perform critiques. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ways that GoReact allows for comments to be made on the videos is not the best. It either makes it a comment that students rarely see or you have to upload a file with comments, so I typically have to email each student separately with specific comments on their speeches. The system also does not have a lot of features that make it unique. The results would be the same if a student just emailed a video file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
