Century College boosts student confidence 89% with Packback

Century College faced a challenge with student disengagement in its English courses. Traditional LMS discussion boards were failing to spark meaningful participation, with posts being minimal and repetitive. Professor Bri Kerschner sought a scalable solution from Packback to improve student writing and critical thinking skills without overwhelming her grading workload.

Packback provided a platform for weekly writing practice, encouraging deeper exploration and allowing students to write in their own voice. This implementation led to a significant increase in student confidence and engagement, with 89% of students reporting feeling more confident in their abilities. The solution also drove a marked improvement in the quality of discussions and writing, with 95% of students preferring Packback over other tools.
