• Low-cost alternative to expensive, underused textbooks
• Conversational text, embedded with interactive questions, discussions, simulations & more to engage students with course materials
• Easily customize content to perfectly fit course syllabus & keep updated
• Insight into student preparation with responses to embedded activities 
• Accompanied Classroom Engagement Tool & Interactive Homework Assignments to keep students engaged before, during and after class. 
• Access to the Top Hat Marketplace with thousands of interactive course materials that can be used at your disposal
• Publishing Opportunities with remunerations of 45% royalties and 100% copyright

These workshops provide an introduction to the new Top Hat x VT partnership, as well as a high-level interactive content walkthrough.  Joining them will be some of your VT peers who will share their experiences with Top Hat and be available for a live Q&A. 

For those interested afterwards, Justin will be scheduling 1:1 tailored demonstrations to get faculty set up for the Fall term.
