Top Hat is an engagement platform that empowers educators to incorporate active learning into every area of their course. Instructors use Top Hat during class to drive discussions, take live polls, and give students real-time feedback on how well they understand course concepts. Outside of class, Top Hat enables instructors to adopt and personalize interactive content, assignments, and assessments. Top Hat also offers services such as group training, individual consultation, and instructional design support to help faculty achieve their desired course outcomes.
