Why educators and students love Top Hat.
After using this lab manual, I was able to identify specific knowledge gaps. I could put in more practice questions to shore up weaker areas. Now, a higher percentage of students are answering correctly.

The training I received from Top Hat was great. I was given tutorials on how to edit my master shell. I now fix procedures, address student mistakes and make iterations before publishing for the new semester.
