“I have been using Packback for this semester, and I’ve really enjoyed the interaction I’m seeing with my students… I’m seeing a real engagement with my students in how they’re enjoying responding to each other’s questions, and I’m elaborating on questions that they have within the system. So I would say that I would highly recommend using it again next semester… What I’m really seeing is that my students are engaged, and they’re asking great questions.”
