Top Hat is revolutionizing the world of higher education. We are the leading teaching platform that professors use to create an active learning environment. Using Top Hat, professors can transform students' smartphones and laptops into tools of engagement, leading to increased attendance, higher grades, and a more effective lecture experience. More recently, Top Hat acquired Aktiv Learning, and we're continuing to grow our overall product offering. We aim to be the premier way for professors to interact with students both in and out of the classroom.
