Among the new features – inline editing of slides, a significant time-saving advantage based on feedback from Top Hat customers
TORONTO – Top Hat, a leading active learning platform for higher education, is pleased to announce feature updates that demonstrate its ongoing commitment to improving workflow management solutions for educators.
Top Hat now enables professors to edit a variety of document types directly through the Top Hat app integrated with Microsoft Office 365. This feature update addresses one of the most customer-requested capabilities: the ability for Top Hat users to directly edit their instructional content within the teaching app. The integration reduces the friction and cognitive load caused by working in multiple applications to create and edit lecture and assignment content.
”This release benefits from using Microsoft Office 365 to consistently deliver more value to our customers based on their feedback, and improve their workflow,“ said Mike Silagadze, Top Hat CEO and founder.
”Microsoft supports Top Hat’s vision to help drive digital transformation in many fields, including higher education,“ said Suzanne Gagliese, General Manager, Microsoft Canada. ”The integration with Office 365 enables university and college educators to work more efficiently across apps.“
Earlier this year, Top Hat announced that all of its products are now integrated into a single, seamless platform, making it easier for professors to manage assignments, discussions, tests, and grades, and identify early those students at risk of withdrawing from or failing their classes. This new feature further optimizes a professor’s workflow, saving them time and improving their overall satisfaction.
