GoReact: Creating Assignments in Blackboard Ultra

Adam Sweatt
  • Created:
  • Updated:

All documentation in the Instructor section still applies to the GoReact app in Blackboard; the only difference is where you create / access the course content.

Important Note 
Accessing GoReact via Blackboard is different from going to goreact.com because the two systems do not communicate. 
To create / access your course / assignment, please log in through Blackboard. You will never need to go to goreact.com to access a Blackboard course / assignment.

Before Starting 
The GoReact app must be installed by your Blackboard Administrator / IT Help Desk before you can add it to your assignments.  See our Administrator setup of GoReact in Blackboard Ultra for more information.

Create GoReact Assignments in Blackboard

Please follow these steps to create your GoReact assignment in Blackboard.

Your view in Blackboard may be slightly different, especially verbiage (for example, Content may say Assignments), but the same steps should apply. If you need further instruction, contact your Blackboard Administrator / IT Help Desk.

  1. After logging into Blackboard, click on the desired course.

  2. From your course’s homepage, below Course Content, click the + button. 
    Course Content screen showing + add button
  3. Click Create.
  4. Select Teaching tools with LTI connection.
    Create Item open showing available Course Content Items to add

  5. Enter an assignment name at the top, and change the drop-down to Visible to students. 
    Visible to students selected from dropdown as described

    Important Step 
    You must enter a name for your assignment, or the LTI connection will not work.

  6. Below Configuration URL, enter the URL for your region, and select Open in new window. 
    • APAC Region: lti.goreact.au/lti/v1
    • EMEA Region: lti.goreact.eu/lti/v1

    • AMERICAS Region: lti.goreact.com/lti/v1

      LTI Link Details with Configuration URL populated for your region with Open in new window option selected

  7. Optionally, create a gradebook entry if you wish the assignment to be graded.

    The points in Blackboard need to match the points in GoReact for grade passback to work.

  8. Finish entering any additional settings, and click Save.
  9. As the instructor, you must open the GoReact assignment and finish selecting any desired settings before students can submit.
