Case Study: University of Alabama improves student writing performance with Packback

University of Alabama improves writing scores by 5-10% with Packback

The University of Alabama faced challenges in its writing instruction, with students struggling in areas like grammar and paper structure. This led to minimal improvement and a frustrating grading experience for Professor Michael Barton. To address this, he turned to the vendor Packback and its Deep Dives and Questions platform to revamp the writing process.

By implementing Packback, the university created a more engaging learning environment. The solution provided students with structured feedback while they wrote, leading to a 5-10% improvement in writing assignment grades and a 20% reduction in grading time. Packback also helped build student confidence, with 84% of students reporting that the platform improved their writing skills.
