What can you do with Top Hat?


Top Hat allows you to do so much more than take polls. It offers a suite of tools that make it easy for you to promote active learning at no cost to you or your students, making teaching effective and fun.

With Top Hat you can:

  • Motivate every student, from the front to the back row, to participate and demonstrate their understanding,
  • Take attendance with the click of one button,
  • Upload presentation slides for students to follow along and review later on their own devices,
  • Poll students during class time using Top Hat Classroom.

In addition, any piece of content that you create in or upload to Top Hat can be made into an Assignment. You can schedule assignments to become available to students, either as graded Homework or ungraded Review, at a date and time of your choosing. Also, Top Hat's Gradebook function allows for real-time feedback on student progress. Top Hat is integrated into BlackBoard, so it can also import grade scores and attendance directly into the system for you.

Find out how to do all of this and more at the University Center for Teaching and Learning's "Top Hat: Beyond Classroom Polling" training session on January 24, 2019.
