In 2019 Ivy Tech partnered with Packback. Packback is an A.I. supported online discussion platform that uses inquiry and artificial intelligence to monitor and moderate student discussions while helping instructors scale impact and feedback. Ivy Tech chose to partner with Packback to achieve the following goals: innovating with new technologies, improving student success with an emphasis on closing equity gaps, and improving instructor and student engagement.

Today we will hear from early adopters of Packback at Ivy Tech as well as co-founder and Chief Product Officer at Packback.
