Packback is an AI-assisted tool that provides real-time feedback for students' writing. Packback also provides faculty with plagiarism and AI detection (that is superior to Turnitin) and grading assistance. Packback is already used at all of Florida's state universities and has met with great success at other institutions. Packback integrates fully with Canvas.
There are 3 products available to SJR State's faculty:
Packback Questions and Polls - This discussion platform has the students write the questions/prompts instead of the instructor. Students receive instant feedback to write fully developed questions and replies and there are time-savers for instructors when it comes to grading.
Packback Deep Dives - Students write papers in Packback Deep Dives and receive real-time feedback and suggestions for improved writing as opposed to having content generated for them like other AI-assisted writing tools. There is also a grading component to Deep Dives which can save you loads of time if you choose to use it.
