Case Study: St. Ambrose University improves student engagement and comprehension with Top Hat Pages

St. Ambrose University boosts attendance to 86% with Top Hat

St. Ambrose University, a private institution, faced the challenge of engaging a diverse student body in its philosophy courses and preparing them with the necessary soft skills for their careers. Professor Jessica Roisen sought to move away from outdated, static textbooks to more interactive and relevant content. To address this, the university utilized Top Hat and its product, Top Hat Pages.

Using Top Hat Pages, Professor Roisen created a dynamic, interactive textbook that incorporated videos, polls, and real-world case studies to make abstract concepts more accessible. This solution from Top Hat provided instant data on student comprehension and engagement. The results were significant, with an average attendance score of 86% and an average participation score of 78% in the Spring 2022 semester for her 125-student course.
