A Texas community college has launched a new initiative that will enable faculty to cultivate more enriching, engaging class discussions utilizing artificial intelligence (AI).
In partnership with the inquiry-based discussion platform Packback, Lone Star College-University Park will expand faculty and student access to a platform intended to promote critical thinking, build a sense of community in class, and help improve student success.
“The power of a good class discussion is that it empowers students to engage with the curriculum beyond what’s in their textbooks—and help them to see that they’re not alone in the questions they have or the observations they make,” said Dr. Kathy Cecil-Sanchez, vice president of instruction at LSC-University Park.
