Top Hat

Top Hat is an interactive web-based response platform designed to increase student engagement. Instructors can leverage students’ devices (e.g., smartphones, tablets, or laptops) to take attendance, launch discussions and questions, and solicit real-time feedback. 

Top Hat offers several ways for instructors to facilitate engagement with different question types, discussion boards, and gamified elements like polling tournaments. In addition to the instructional benefits, Top Hat provides instructors with learning analytics like daily attendance, student participation, and student performance reports.
