Top Hat is the interactive alternative
to static digital textbooks.

Not all digital texts are created equal. Top Hat’s dynamic courseware empowers educators to bring relevant and inclusive learning to their students, wherever it takes place.

See how Top Hat brings learning to life.

Traditional Textbooks
Top Hat
Digital Friendly
Traditional texts were not developed for the digital era, so even if they get adapted they lack interactive features.
Top Hat’s dynamic courseware was developed for our digital-first world, creating an environment where students can demonstrate and apply their understanding of course concepts. Interactive figures, multimedia and dynamic assessments keep students engaged with even the most difficult topics.
Inclusivity
Not developed with a framework of making the content inclusive.
Our dynamic courseware is created with representation and inclusivity at its core, as educators can use our customization tools to ensure their course reflects their unique students.
Easy to Update
With traditional textbooks and static digital texts, educators often have to wait until the end of the semester to use an updated text, or even start from scratch with a new one to avoid disrupting their course.
Top Hat offers in-app content updates which lets educators use the most up-to-date and relevant author-created content, without sacrificing the customizations they’ve already made. With just a few clicks, you decide if and when to incorporate the latest updates, ensuring a seamless experience.

—Student at the
University of North Texas

“[Top Hat] really helped me understand the course better than I would've if I’d just used a regular textbook or had to sit through lectures. The readings were easy to navigate and the questions helped me pay attention throughout.”
