Active learning platform for higher education
Top Hat is an active learning platform for higher education that combines interactive courseware, in-class student engagement, assessments, and affordable, customizable digital textbooks to make college courses more engaging and effective. Instructors pose questions, run polls and discussions, take attendance, and assign interactive content, while students participate on their own devices, turning passive lectures into active, measurable learning experiences.
Top Hat is used by college and university instructors who want to increase engagement and participation in large and small classes and offer more affordable course materials than traditional textbooks. Its interactive content and questions boost attention and comprehension, its assessment and attendance tools support grading, and its customizable textbooks lower student costs. For higher education focused on active learning, Top Hat is a popular platform.
