Creating a GoReact Assignment in Canvas

GoReact is an LTI app only that is used as an External Tool for assignment submissions. It allows students to make video submissions. As of Sept 2023 - GoReact has been installed in the World Languages sub-account, so no courses need for instructors to install this app. FSU does not hold an enterprise license for GoReact. Without an enterprise license, GoReact is free for instructors to use, but students must purchase codes for GoReact from the FSU bookstore. For courses that also use TRUE+WAY ASL (TWA), there is a separate code for that. The two applications can be used together, but they are separate applications.
