Packback

Packback is an educational platform that uses AI to facilitate and assess student learning processes, rather than just final submissions. Its architecture is centered on an inquiry-based discussion forum with AI coaching that provides real-time writing feedback. The system addresses academic integrity with proactive plagiarism and AI-generated content detection. For institutional deployment, Packback is LTI Advantage certified for direct integration with learning management systems and adheres to SOC 2 Type 2 security, COPPA, FERPA, and WCAG AA accessibility standards. The platform is built for higher education faculty and K-12 instructors who need to manage and evaluate student writing and discussions at scale. In a typical workflow, an instructor uses the AI-integrated toolkit to design an assignment that students access via their institution's LMS. Students receive instant, AI-driven feedback on their posts and drafts, guiding improvement before submission. The system provides instructors with analytics on student engagement, making the thinking process visible.
