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
