Revitalizing Classroom Discussion with Packback: Leveraging AI Technology for Active Learning

Date of Session: June 4, 2024

Description:
Facilitating class discussion (online or in-person) doesn’t have to be complicated, time-consuming, or difficult to grade. By using Packback Questions, faculty are able to build community and facilitate deeper learning through its scalable online discussion forum. Students receive real-time feedback from Instructional AI, which coaches them to ask high-quality, open-ended questions and have more thorough peer-to-peer discourse, all while thinking critically about content and engaging in real world application. Attendees of this workshop will see live examples of Packback communities and how it successfully supports all modalities and course sizes, as well as how to integrate the tool into D2L and get started.
