Packback is pleased to announce its partnership with the California State University (CSU) Affordable Learning Solutions (AL$) initiative in an effort to improve student learning outcomes and reduce the overall cost of education for CSU students.
The AL$ initiative gives faculty at all 23 CSU campuses access to free or low-cost course materials and technologies. Faculty and students from the California Community College and the University of California systems are also able to participate under the CSU partnership.
By partnering with this initiative, Packback will be able to provide CSU instructors with an affordable solution for improving student curiosity, communication and critical thinking skills. “An exciting part of Packback’s growth has been the partnerships we’ve formed with innovative leaders in education to drive positive change,” said Packback CEO Mike Shannon. “Instructors, department chairs, administration and all those involved in AL$ have played a defining role in driving forward curiosity for our California students.”
