Case StudyUniversity of Nevada-RenoUsing Packback to Ignite Discussion at the University of Nevada-RenoProfessor Bret Simmons shares how Packback helped him move beyond flat online discussions and foster richer, research-backed dialogue in his management courses. In this short video, he reflects on the impact it had on student engagement, curiosity, and the way he teaches across class formats and sizes. About the speaker Bret Simmons Business Professor, University of Nevada-Reno “The discussion is much richer. I read the student responses, and I learn more in these Packback discussions because they have done their research and brought in sources. It exceeded my expectations.” Bret’s Key Observations Class discussions became deeper and more research-driven as students asked original questions and backed their ideas with credible sources. Simmons raised the curiosity score requirement and saw students rise to the challenge, often outperforming his own scores and going above and beyond what was expected The quality of student responses changed how he thinks about online and in-person discussions, regardless of class size. As department chair, Simmons actively recommends Packback to his faculty because of the measurable impact he has seen. SCHEDULE A DEMOWant to achieve similar results? Contact us today.
