The best classroom response systems come with built-in polling and quizzing functionality. When an instructor poses a question, students respond and get immediate feedback on their answers.
Many classroom response systems require a physical ‘clicker’ students must purchase and carry with them to participate. Top Hat, however, is different. Students can respond using laptops, tablets and even their mobile phones, enabling participation in physical and virtual classroom environments. Students can also submit responses anonymously, ensuring more students feel comfortable voicing their opinions.
