And Packback didn’t just improve his online courses. Peters says the AI-supported discussion form acts as an extension of his in-person class to keep students thinking about the class material throughout the week. “[Packback has] provided a forum for my students and [me] to meet,” says Peters. “In my online class, it’s like we are in a classroom. And for my face-to-face class, it’s an extension of that classroom.” INSTITUTION Lone Star College DEPARTMENT Economics COURSE Macro Econ SIZE 30-35 Students “I love the process of [students] asking the questions because it enables them to read without knowing that they are reading. And it enables them to dig deeper. And I’ve seen through my in-class, they’re incredibly active in class… So that has been very encouraging for me… I love the fact that my students are reading, they are studying, they are asking questions, and they are citing sources.” Community Stats QUESTIONS 421 AVG CURIOSITY SCORE 53 RESPONSES 685 AVG WORDS PER POST 78 More Faculty Spotlights
