Faculty Spotlight: Dr. Danielle Goodspeed Shares How She’s Fueling In-Class Discussion with Packback

Dr. Danielle Goodspeed shares how in just 15 minutes she can get her students excited to participate in class. She uses Packback’s Feed Sorting feature to quickly find three students’ questions that will spark discussion in class.

“It takes me maybe 15 minutes to choose the [Packback] questions [to bring into class]. The students have been asking a lot of questions and getting involved with it so for me, it’s been worth it to bring it into the classroom.”

“Really it takes me, maybe 15 minutes to choose the questions. Because once I’ve sorted them by the ones that are undiscovered and the questions based on their quality, it doesn’t really take me all that long to say, ‘They’ll really like to answer this question,’ or ‘This one should be easy for them based on what we’re covering in class.'”
