Top Hat Graded 2025: Empowering Teaching, Inspiring Learning

Matched: AI

Top Hat's 2025 annual report highlights growth in AI-assisted teaching through its Ace tool. Over 107,000 students used Ace—a 114% increase year-over-year—primarily for on-demand practice quizzes. Instructors used it to generate assessments and activities while retaining editorial control. Across the platform, 14.3 million questions were created, led by 9 million multiple-choice questions, with long-answer prompts also growing significantly.

Matched: AI

AI tools can boost student motivation under the right conditions, but effects vary. Studies show benefits when tools are used consistently, teachers provide guidance, and students maintain agency.

Cost barriers also raise equity concerns, as specialized tools remain inaccessible to many students who could benefit most.
