The discussion tool, Packback, is currently being used by faculty throughout SUNY to improve student engagement and critical thinking in online discussions. As a result of strong SUNY faculty and student satisfaction, SUNY has partnered with Packback through a Master Service Agreement that provides a variety of pathways for institutional and faculty adoption.

Packback is an AI-supported discussion tool that is designed to encourage students to think critically and more deeply engage in course topics when working on discussions. It includes many features such as real-time feedback and coaching to students, plagiarism detection, and curiosity points, and learner leaderboards meant to encourage participation and improvement.
