Request Demo TestimonialsStudents and educators love Packback. “Packback brings the power of AI to education in a way that improves student writing and learning outcomes. It’s not just another tool—it’s a platform that empowers students and supports progress.” Kate Smith, Ed.D PresidentRio Solado College “As a professor, I appreciate that Packback allows me to engage my students—both inside and outside of class– in rigorous, meaningful discussions based upon their unique interests and critical thinking skills. […] Because Packback’s AI allows students to know if they have already met the basic requirements for grammar, spelling, word count, formatting, and references, they feel more confident that they are submitting high quality work.” Dr. Jennifer Hillman Psychology Professor Penn State University “It is essential with any AI detection or plagiarism detection that students get to see the feedback first before the faculty do, and have the time to revise and resubmit their work so that there isn’t that ‘gotcha’ from faculty. It has to be a teaching and a learning tool for the students.” Dr. Heather Olson Director Online Teaching and Learning ExperienceFlorida SouthWestern State College INTEGRATIONS Seamlessly Integrate with Your LMS and Learning Tools SECURITYBuilt with enterprise-level security and designed to scale with institutional needs.
