The Ohio State University saves students $1.8 million with Top Hat

The Ohio State University identified a growing demand among faculty for bring-your-own-device classroom response tools. The challenge was to standardize this classroom technology across the institution while also reducing the significant costs students were incurring from purchasing external hardware clickers. To address this, the university turned to the vendor Top Hat and its engagement platform.

Top Hat implemented a site-wide license, transitioning over 10,000 students from paid hardware to its cloud-based platform. The solution leveraged the devices students already owned, eliminating the need for separate clickers. This initiative by Top Hat saved 43,000 students an estimated $1.8 million. Furthermore, adoption among educators grew by 48% over two years, making the platform an indispensable tool for teaching and learning across the campus.
