"I personally really enjoy the pace that Top Hat brings in comparison to other textbooks. The knowledge checks in between content also ensures I am paying attention while testing to see what I grasp."
-Student from the University of Ottawa
With Top Hat, you create more than an e-book for your students—you build an interactive and immersive learning experience.
We offer seamless integrations with all major LMS providers including Blackboard, Canvas, D2L Brightspace, Moodle and Sakai. The Top Hat gradebook houses digital interactions between instructors and students, including results from attendance, quizzes, tests, assignments, and participation, and is available in your LMS from the moment each semester begins.
“The biggest advantage of Top Hat is that you can modify chapters on the go, you can delete parts of the chapters, you can add your own questions… my students learned more, they participated, I could keep tabs on what they were doing.”

"Top Hat is unique in its customizability, ease of use and outstanding support (something I haven't found in other platforms). I love using my own customizable content and the students love being able to do the assignments on their phones. It's convenient and engaging and perfect for my online classes."
