Packback Introduction

Packback utilizes AI technology to create a 'Digital TA' that provides instant feedback and coaching to students on their discussion posts and written assignments. For Packback Questions, students are encouraged to ask open-ended questions and engage in meaningful discussions, with the AI providing suggestions to improve post quality and curiosity scores. In Packback Deep Dives, the AI offers immediate writing feedback and assists instructors in grading based on specific rubrics. The platform's AI never writes content for students but instead guides them on how to improve their critical thinking and writing skills. Instructors maintain control over the grading process while benefiting from automated assistance with mechanical aspects of assessment.
