As a student engagement and interactive teaching platform, Top Hat’s software helps college professors activate classrooms. In a world of digital distractions, countless academic studies have reinforced the reality that students better understand the day’s lesson if they’re asked to engage with peers, interact with complex material, and participate in class. In Top Hat, students use their personal devices for quizzes, polls, and difficult simulations, transforming lecture halls from passive to active learning environments. As an advocate for traditional, on-campus education, Top Hat not only modernizes established teaching methods but also facilitates new approaches including the ‘flipped classroom’ and ‘group learning.’
