About Top Hat

Top Hat is an online teaching platform designed to help professors and educators engage their students and build comprehension before, during, and after classes. The software offers solutions for delivering interactive courses, customizing digital textbooks, assigning homework, and securely administering assessments. Top Hat automates a variety of common, repetitive tasks to free up teachers' time, such as taking attendance and grading homework. Built-in assessment tools allow users to tracks students' progress throughout the term, with in-class questions and polls in addition to assigned homework, and provide feedback in real time to course-correct when necessary. Top Hat also aims to enhance student engagement with courses through integrated graphics and videos, customized interactive textbooks, class discussions, and lesson gamification. Top Hat's assessment solution allows students to take tests through their own device, whether a laptop, tablet, or smartphone, without downloading any software. Instructor-generated codes control access to the exam, and a proprietary behavioral algorithm automatically detects cheating. Homework tasks can be assigned to individuals or groups through the assignment solution, and users can create custom questions, import their existing materials, or choose free question packs in the Top Hat marketplace.

Benifits

Build An Engaging And Interactive Learning Environment

Top Hat is equipped with a tool that enables teachers to build an interactive learning environment, make classroom management activities a breeze, manage educational content and materials online, and evaluate student performance instantly. Let us explore these capabilities of the tool and find out how they move learning to the next level.

Deliver Synchronous Learning Experiences

The classroom management tool ensures that all students are on the same page during classroom discussions and lectures, making learning a synchronous experience. The tool can synchronize lecture slides between the teacher’s device and student’s devices so that all students are able to consume the same educational materials and contents and follow along in real-time. Teachers can also collect responses from students in the middle of discussions and evaluate those responses to correct misconceptions. Students can download lecture slides and review them at home as well.

Consolidates All Learning Materials In One Place

Top Hat’s class management tool consolidates all educational resources and materials in one place. This capability makes it easy for teachers to prepare and customize lessons, multiple interactive types of questions, lecture slides, presentations, and other learning materials, which they can do online.

Automates Daily Classroom Routines

The tool also automates the daily routines teachers are performing in the classroom such as checking students’ attendance, grading quizzes, and monitoring the performance and progress of students. For example, the tool permits students to confirm their attendance by logging into their devices and entering unique codes. The tool can even track the current locations of students so that teachers can verify if a student is present in class or not.

Assess The Performance Of Your Students Automatically

When it comes to grading, the tool enables teachers to set up their own grading system wherein they will be able to add grading weights to interactive questions, students’ participation, and attendance automatically. They no longer have to apply scores and grades manually, as the tool can instantly take care of that. When students want to view their grades online, they can do that easily on any device at any time.

A Tool For Creating And Delivering Digital Textbooks

Another tool built into Top Hat is a tool that it allows teachers to create interactive and engaging textbooks and other learning materials. This is a unique authoring tool that eliminates the need to use paper textbooks. In other words, students no longer need to purchase textbooks from bookstores or the university’s supply department, thereby helping them reduce costs.

Personalized Assignments That Make Learning Inspirational And Motivational

Top Hat provides a tool that allows teachers to create, customize and personalize, and deliver assignments to students instantly. Like textbooks, assignments can also be customized using graphical and interactive elements which include videos, images, website links, and question packages. Teachers can customize assignments in various ways so that they can deliver personalized learning experiences to their students and inspire and motivate them to learn.

Create, Administer, And Grade Tests Instantly

Creating, administering, and grading quizzes, tests, and exams using Top Hat is also automated. This is because the education software offers a tool exclusively built for managing tests. With this tool, teachers will be able to create tests in just a matter of few minutes. Once they are done creating tests, they can deliver such tests to students securely via a web browser. What’s great about this tool is that it has mechanisms that identify and prevent cheating behaviors. It uses proprietary algorithms to detect students that are cheating on their tests and locks those students out.
