Case Study: Harrisburg Area Community College helps students hold themselves accountable with Packback

Harrisburg Area Community College helps students hold themselves accountable with Packback

Harrisburg Area Community College faced a challenge with students struggling to engage with course material and hold themselves accountable in an English course taught by Lise-Pauline Barnett. To address this, the college turned to the vendor Packback and its online discussion platform.

Packback's solution, which included a feature called the Curiosity Score to encourage deeper inquiry, helped students engage with the material more deeply than ever before. The results were students using the platform to hold themselves accountable, increased participation, and even a spark of friendly competition among them.
