Packback is Pima's AI-powered discussion and writing platform that is designed to let you as a student explore your own natural curiosity for your course topics. Packback's discussion option, Packback Questions, does not use traditional discussion style where the instructor asks a question and you respond to it and other students responses to the same question. Instead, Packback Questions is purposefully designed so that you and your peers simply ask the questions on your mind. An AI-powered coaching system will guide you as you ask and support your questions, and as your respond to your peers questions. This AI will evaluate your work and assign you a Curiosity Score based on your post.

Packback Deep Dives is designed to bring that same AI-powered coaching system to writing essays, research papers, etc. You'll find the AI is able to help guide you on writing by checking for grammar and spelling errors, analyzing style, citation generation, and more. See Packback Deep Dives: About Deep Dives to learn more.
