Top Hat Feature
Community
Build a learning community inside the classroom and out
Stay connected with your students, during and after class
When it comes to student success, community is everything. But with the shift to online learning, students are feeling more isolated and disconnected than ever. That’s why we created Top Hat Community. With Community, we give students and faculty a single destination to chat, engage in video discussions, collaborate on assignments, and have more fun—inside and outside of class. Community helps every student feel like part of a vibrant learning community, wherever learning takes place.

“Community allows me to be more responsive to my students. I am able to have richer conversations in real time rather than waiting for emails back and forth. The ability for students to share together in a common space is profound. We’ve done Giphy competitions on Community which encourages students to share their content creations. It’s been really entertaining for students and myself.”
