Subject: [Bcoelsteering] Top Hat

Hi everyone,

 

I���ve had an instructor here contact me about Top Hat. What do you think? Do you guys know anyone using it? Pros? Cons? I saw what Amy Hofer from Open Oregon wrote about it, but was wondering if you guys knew anything.

 

Amy���s concerns were that students lose access to the platform  and the data in the platform can't be exported, so any custom versions of open textbooks/question banks/etc. can���t be used elsewhere. And the Top Hat content is under copyright even though it can be modified within the platform itself.

 

Thanks,

 

Brenda
