With the advent of easy-to-use generative AI like ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot, many instructors have been looking into alternatives to traditional written essays, which are often easy to write with AI assistance. Last fall, I led a webinar on authentic assignments for GoReact, an educational technology company that provides video feedback tool that can be really useful for certain authentic assignments, particularly ones that are performance-based. I asked GoReact if they could connect me with faculty who they knew to be using their platform intentionally, and they were happy to oblige.

On today’s episode, I talk with Jeff Przybylo, chair of communications arts and head coach of the speech and debate team at Harper College in Illinois, and Thomas Fisher, clinical associate professor of education and university supervisor for student teachers at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Both of these faculty have incorporated GoReact into their teaching in really thoughtful ways, and I think you’ll get some ideas for using more video in your teaching, whether or not you teach in a performance field like Jeff and Tom.
