Case Study: University of Nevada-Reno boosts student engagement and richer discussion with Packback

University of Nevada-Reno raises curiosity scores and deepens discussion with Packback

The University of Nevada-Reno sought to improve flat online discussions and foster richer dialogue in its management courses taught by Professor Brett Simmons. To address this challenge, the university implemented Packback, an online discussion platform.

Using Packback, students were encouraged to ask original questions and back their ideas with credible sources, leading to deeper and more research-driven discussions. The solution exceeded expectations, significantly improving student engagement and curiosity. Professor Simmons was so impressed with the measurable impact on the quality of discussion that he actively recommends Packback to other faculty at the university.
