Case Study: University of Saint Joseph improves remote biology teaching with Top Hat

University of Saint Joseph saves students $145 per semester with Top Hat

The University of Saint Joseph, a private institution, faced a challenge with expensive and unengaging Anatomy and Physiology course materials that provided no insight into student comprehension. Biology instructor Christina Alevras sought a solution from vendor Top Hat to track student progress and ensure they were absorbing the complex material, a need that became even more critical with the shift to remote learning during COVID-19.

Top Hat's interactive textbook and platform provided an affordable, self-paced learning solution with 3D models and automatic progress tracking. This allowed the instructor to identify knowledge gaps and create a more interactive, inclusive asynchronous environment. The results included students saving $145 on materials and developing better critical thinking skills, with Top Hat proving to be a vital tool for student success and engagement in a remote setting.
