Have you heard the buzz about Packback?  Fully integrated into Canvas, this tool is free to all CSI students and teachers and offers:

  • Packback Questions - an online discussion platform that puts students in control of asking the questions, and fosters curiosity and increased engagement.   This AI-supported tool also offers a mid-week posting deadline, gamification, and student polls.

  • Packback Deep Dives - a writing platform powered by AI to provide students with timely support and coaching as they write prepare and submit written content.

  • Packback Writing Lab -  this AI writing tool is similar to others which coach students to improve grammar, flow, citations, and other writing skills outside the classroom.   

Join learning designers from the TLC in this working session where we can assist you to set up your Packback Community for the upcoming semester, and to make all needed connections to your Canvas course(s).
