Top Hat Feature
Live Chat & Discussions
Foster community in your class
Keep students engaged in class meetings with live chat functionality integrated directly into the virtual lecture experience. Allow learners to discuss topics and concepts with their peers, professors and teaching assistants and offer discussion questions that can be graded.
“I use Top Hat primarily for discussions and questions to review material that I had just covered. I have also noticed more participation in class; my students love being able to use their smartphones.”
