I love how as a new user, it's so easy to navigate. I downloaded it, and have been using it for over 2 years to gain student understanding of topics and test their knowledge through quizzes. Its also one of my favorite platforms for peer reviews, as it then integrates with Canvas and helps me grade students accordingly.

- Very easy to sign up using the code for a particular class/workshop/lecture - Basic allows for free use with vast features to allow for student participation - Top hat allows participants to track the quality of their work, and how it gets better or worse with every class- making students more responsible

Top Hat is a great student engagement tool, useful in polling students on the fly or setting up assessments prior to class. The built-in LMS could be useful for tracking student progress, but the free version allows for excellent engagement with a large number of students. Some other polling platforms cap the number of students in the free version, making it difficult to use with large class sizes.
