Greetings,
UT Dallas has partnered with Top Hat to offer a student engagement platform that enables faculty to incorporate active learning into various areas of their course. Faculty can use this tool during class to drive discussions, conduct live polls, and give students real-time feedback on how well they understand course concepts. The platform also allows asynchronous engagement through personalized interactive content, assignments and assessments.
Educational Technology Services will host a webinar for faculty on Thursday, Nov. 9, from noon to 1 p.m. to demonstrate best practices for using Top Hat’s student engagement platform. To sign up for the webinar, please fill out this form.
We would like to note that implementing Top Hat will result in an additional cost to the student. Considering recent legislature impacting undergraduate academic costs, we request faculty to review Provost Musselman’s memorandum dated Oct. 2, 2023, before incorporating this tool in undergraduate courses.
Faculty who are interested in learning more about Top Hat’s student engagement platform can email Alexa Hefner. The vendor’s team can also assist with initial setup, training, consultation and instructional design support to achieve desired course outcomes.
How-to guides, support information and other resources are available on the ETS Team’s Top Hat webpage. For additional questions, email eLearning.
Thank you,
Roopa Vinay (she/her)
