Understanding the Whole Writing Journey

Engagement Insights promotes authentic student thinking, tracking the effort, planning, and revisions that lead to the final draft

  • Writing Process Report: Provides a transparent, comprehensive trail of engagement across a student’s entire writing lifecycle from planning to submission
  • Effort Visibility: Go beyond the final file to confirm authentic effort and intentional revision patterns, revealing the work behind the grade
  • Restore Trust: Promote true academic integrity by giving students an opportunity to proactively comment and share more details about their process

A Transparent View of Student Thinking

Student engagement has always been the strongest signal of learning, yet most institutions can’t see it clearly.

  • See Student Learning Behavior: Across planning, drafting, revising, and reflecting.
  • Promote Productive Stuggle: Engagement Insights allows students to leave comments to explain the thought and process that went into their work
  • Built on Zimmerman’s Self-Regulated Learning Framework:  Engagement Insights transforms the writing process into measurable data educators and administrators can use to support authentic learning.

Pre-submission Feedback

Packback Originality allows students to see a preview of their Originality report before they submit, including:

  • Citation evaluation so they learn to properly credit sources
  • Proactive writing feedback on grammar, style, and content
  • Proprietary tools to detect and help correct possible plagiarism and actively improve student writing performance prior to submission.

Uniqueness Reporting

Packback Originality compares student-submitted work to millions of pieces of text, including:

  • Live Web Search: A real-time comparison to public web sources and open-access journals and textbooks
  • Document Repository: A comparison to our repository of over 100M saved web-based documents, based on the most plagiarized materials
  • Student Content: Comparison with over 50M pieces of student-submitted content

AI-Generated Content Detection

Preventing Plagiarism, Improving Writing


Uniqueness Scoring

Detect (and compare) matches between student text and outside sources

Packback’s advanced Uniqueness Algorithm can detect matches to outside sources even in the case of significant edits. Packback allows you to see a side-by-side “Match Comparison” showing additions, deletions, and replacements.

AI-Generated Content Detection

Identify how students may be using GenAI in their work

At Packback, we know that not all GenAI use is a bad thing, but transparency and proper attribution and citation is key! Packback provides transparency into how a document may have used generative AI in its development, with an overall “risk” level as well as “risk” insights by sentence.

Proactive Feedback for Students

Allow students to see matches and correct missing citations before submission

Packback’s mission is to empower students with insights during the writing process to help them succeed before they submit. Students are able to see a preview of the “Originality Fingerprint” report for their document and are prompted to correct instances of possible plagiarism or uncited generative AI use before they submit.

Streamlined Workflow

A single workflow for teacher grading and student feedback

Unlike other leading academic integrity solutions, all of Packback’s features are delivered in one streamlined workflow. Educators assign, grade, and review originality all in the same workflow, and students get proactive writing feedback as a part of the submission process.

Secure & Flexible

Privacy and Security-First: Packback is SOCII Certified and aligns to FERPA, COPPA, PIPEDA, and GDPR standards.

You control your institution’s data: Institutions can request data be removed from our data set, or that their own data be included in our document repository.
