Packback Instructor, AnneMarie Garmon of Central Piedmont Community College, was featured in the article, “Adjusting to Remote Instruction at Community Colleges” in Inside Higher Ed to share her experience supporting her students in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak.

“One of the most effective tools that I have used in teaching, which fosters great communication for both academic topics and current events, is Packback.
