UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Top Hat is partnering with Penn State’s Abington, Lehigh Valley and Scranton campuses to offer a series of workshops Feb. 11-13 designed to help faculty get the most out of Top Hat.

Top Hat is an engagement platform that has tools for educators and institutions to deliver interactive and personalized learning experiences.

Each "Top Hat On Campus Day" will consist of an overview of the most powerful Top Hat features, including discussions and polling, assessment options, and customizable content. Faculty speakers will discuss their experiences using Top Hat, and attendees will have an opportunity to learn about Top Hat’s content capabilities, including open and affordable educational resources.

Top Hat will be at Penn State Abington on Tuesday, Feb. 11, at Penn State Lehigh Valley on Wednesday, Feb. 12, and at Penn State Scranton on Thursday, Feb. 13.

The workshops are suitable for longtime Top Hat users, newcomers, and those simply interested in enhancing student engagement. While sessions will be hosted on individual campuses, they are open to faculty from any Penn State campus. In-person attendance is recommended; however, a virtual option will be available for those unable to attend in person.
