Deep Dives is Packback’s long-form writing assignment tool. Deep Dives allows instructors to create custom writing prompts for students to complete within Packback. Instructors can assign Deep Dives instead of traditional paper assignments while still promoting reflective writing. Deep Dives utilizes an AI grading assistant that provides instant feedback to help students improve their writing. The system analyzes mechanics like grammar and spelling, freeing up time to focus on giving meaningful feedback that helps students develop their ideas and critical thinking. With Deep Dives, students can iterate and refine their work based on your specific grading criteria and learning objectives. The goal is to enhance the feedback loop so students gain more from the writing process while also lightening the instructor's workload.
