University of Nevada, Las Vegas achieves 90% approval rate with Top Hat

The University of Nevada, Las Vegas, faced a challenge with its Public Speaking course, as available textbooks contained excessive, irrelevant information that demotivated students from reading. Assistant Professor Nick Tatum sought a textbook that imparted foundational concepts succinctly with real-world application. He partnered with vendor Top Hat to author a custom eText.

Top Hat's Custom Publishing team collaborated with Professor Tatum to design a highly-interactive, editable eText. The solution led to soaring textbook approval rates, with students giving the clarity of content a 4.5/5 star rating and its helpfulness a 4.4/5 star rating. This translated to real value for students, who also benefited from the resource's affordable price.
