Case Study: University of North Texas improves writing quality and cuts grading time with Packback

University of North Texas reduces grading time by 50% with Packback

The University of North Texas faced challenges with students struggling with writing mechanics in long-form assignments, which led faculty to spend substantial time grading low-level errors instead of providing higher-order feedback. To address this, the university partnered with Packback and implemented its Writing platform via Packback Deep Dives.

Packback's solution used an AI-powered tool to provide students with real-time feedback on structure and grammar during the drafting process. This human-AI collaboration model significantly reduced faculty grading time by up to 50% and improved student scores in key writing areas like Flow & Structure and Grammar. The results allowed instructors to focus on personalized feedback on content and ideas, enhancing both writing quality and instructional efficiency.
