Cambo reads the question straight off the projector or your screen and gives an instant, explained answer fast enough to actually use in the moment, the same way it handles any other timed question.

Questions, answered.

What is Top Hat?

+

Top Hat is an in-class polling and engagement platform — instructors project a question during lecture and students answer live from their own phone or laptop, similar to older physical 'clicker' systems but fully app-based.

How is Top Hat different from take-home platforms like Connect or MyLab?

+

Top Hat questions are answered live, in real time, during a lecture that's happening right now — there's no take-home window or textbook lookup time, unlike homework platforms you complete on your own schedule.

What subjects is Top Hat commonly used for?

+

It's used broadly across intro-level courses of many kinds, since it's built around live polling and attendance/participation rather than being tied to one specific subject's content.

Are Top Hat questions usually multiple choice?

+

Mostly multiple choice, along with short numeric-entry and occasional word-answer questions, depending on what the instructor sets up for that lecture.

Is Cambo fast enough to use during a live Top Hat poll?

+

Cambo is built to give an instant, explained answer as soon as you capture the question — point your phone at the projected question or your screen and get a fast, reasoned answer while the poll is still open.

Is Cambo affiliated with Top Hat?

+

No. Cambo is an independent study tool and isn't produced, endorsed, or affiliated with Top Hat.
