Case Study: St. Cloud Technical & Community College boosts student outcomes with Top Hat

This Professor Boosted Student Outcomes and Retention with Top Hat

St. Cloud Technical & Community College professor Luke Green was looking for a better textbook option for his Introduction to Public Speaking course and a safer way to facilitate peer feedback in class. He turned to Top Hat, using Top Hat Classroom for in-class engagement and Top Hat Textbook to provide students with affordable, interactive course materials.

With Top Hat, Green was able to gather anonymous peer feedback, build a more supportive classroom environment, and customize the content to fit his course. The results were strong: average final grades increased by 4%, instructor evaluation scores rose by 12%, course evaluations improved by 8%, and DFW rates dropped by 12%.
