Making Learning More Interesting for Students

A Deeper Look at Top Hat

Top Hat is an introduction platform to interactive classes. Instead of just using the oral lecture approach to the students, it enables the teacher to provide engaging learning experiences, such as interactive presentations, quizzes, and interactive debates, among others. Students relate and engage in learning through their own devices by answering polls, completing quizzes and participating in discussions when they are ongoing. With the digital divide not being so huge in the educative sector today, Top Hat assists in making education more engaging irrespective of the type of class, either physical or online. The technology provides versatility that accommodates various pedagogies and learning environments.

 

Instructors can focus on specific lesson objectives by modifying student content while the students engage which makes the process of learning more engaging. One unique aspect of this is its capacity to track and assess learning in order to determine the level of understanding of students regarding the instruction provided to them. This information is then used to modify the delivery method to fit the students’ understanding at that particular moment.

Top Hat has an electronics library containing tools and equipment which assist course instructors in creating more interactive and flexible learning. For instance, course instructors can add question and answer sessions in the presentation slides to gauge learners understanding after every few slides to know where learners need more attention. Again learners can interact with their peers in group activities and answer question and answer Polls with immediate feedback visually making the environment livelier and more participative. You can use the online software interactively even where teaching aids and materials have been provided for the class. The instructors can use their old PowerPoint presentations, books, and other resources while embellishing them with engagement visual features to make classroom participation easier. Such provision of analytics on the status of engagement in the class supports the effective achievement of the learning objectives by both teachers and learners.
