Victor Parker enjoys Packback’s ease of use for instructors and students

Victor Parker felt nervous about implementing a new tool in his course. Not only did he have concerns with learning the tool himself, but he was also concerned that his students might struggle to learn new technology. Luckily for Victor, Packback’s intuitive platform made using the discussion platform easy for him and his students.

“I started using Packback this semester. One of the things that I really like about this service is the ease of use. And this isn’t just coming from me the professor, which it is certainly easy for us to use, but it’s coming from the students themselves who find the platform easy to use and therefore they use it more than they may have otherwise. I have seen student engagement both inside the classroom and inside the Packback discussions increase as the semester has gone one.”
