Accessibility is at Top Hat's core. Our platform supports keyboard navigation and assistive technologies, such as screen readers and magnification tools. Accessible assignments are easy to create with tools for alt-text authoring and flexible scheduling, allowing educators to accommodate varying student needs. Plus, Ace, our AI-powered assistant, automatically generates transcripts and image descriptions for assigned slides.
Top Hat's dynamic, interactive eTexts are also designed to make learning accessible, welcoming, and engaging. Every chapter is built with clear headers for easy navigation. To further enhance accessibility, our authors and content developers provide alt-text for images, essential color contrast for text and images, alternatives for any digitally-inaccessible content, and closed captions and audio descriptions for videos.
Our instructional designers provide tailored advice and support to help instructors create an equitable learning experience for all students.
