It’s very easy to use Top Hat to create customized content and personalized learning with the Pages tool. For detailed instructions on how to create personalized content, see this Support Center article.

Top Hat Pages is more than a content editor. With Pages, you can incorporate visual and interactive elements such as images, videos, Top Hat questions, and other personalized content to increase engagement and student comprehension. Pages also lets you use Ace, our AI-powered assistant, as a question generator to handle much of the work for you.

Research has consistently shown that frequent low-stakes assessments can improve students’ retention and understanding across many disciplines. Assessments are commonly used as tools to measure learning, but they can also be used to enhance it—instructors can have students activate recall while they learn in class or read a text, rather than only during high-stakes assessments. This approach enables retrieval practice, a strategy to strengthen memory by recalling information. As a dynamic courseware platform for active learning, Top Hat makes it easy for educators to incorporate frequent low-stakes assessments in and outside of class.

The difference comes down to context. When you ask a question in Chat GPT, the relevance of the response you get depends on the quality of your prompt and the context provided in your question. Because Ace operates alongside course materials and has contextual knowledge of what is being studied, it can address student questions with relevant responses that are based on the specific course contents.

Not always. AI-generated content may contain inaccuracies about people, places, or facts- and may also reflect stereotypes and societal biases. Users should always independently evaluate the accuracy of any generated questions and responses.
