Abstract: In a virtual environment finding creative ways to connect course material is essential to student success. PackBack is a platform that can bridge course material as students learn new knowledge. PackBack consists of special measures that help students research questions they may still have after discussing course material. Using this platform and the "Teaching Tolerance" framework allowed students to understand better other students' perspectives of the four components: identity, diversity, action, and justice outlined by the Southern Poverty Law Center. PackBack can be used as additional support in any classroom.
