The new Advisory Board will explore how educators and institutions can use emerging technologies to support human connection and spark conversations in the classroom.
The Advisory Board includes:
Dr Bernard Rowan, Associate Provost, Chicago State University
Dr Blake Freeman, Chief Academic Officer, Hamilton County Department of Education
Carley Ries, Vice Provost, Online Learning, University of Nevada
Dr John J. "Ski" Sygielski, President, HACC, Central Pennsylvania's Community College

The Advisory Board will meet quarterly to offer strategic guidance to Packbay leadership and explore best practice for responsible use of AI tools.
It will focus on how AI and other emerging technologies can support learning and teaching with emphasis on equity, academic integrity, and technological innovation.
"AI is transforming classrooms at light speed, and urging us to rethink what's possible in teaching and learning. But the decisions about AI that we make now will shape a generation of learners, and it is critical that we get it right," explains Kelsey Behringer, CEO at Packback.
"The Advisory Board brings together leaders across K-12 and higher education to better understand how AI tools can inspire deeper engagement and more authentic learning, and how smart, responsible practices can make the benefits of AI accessible to all students."
