Cell phones, tablets and laptops have become pervasive among student populations and, while they bring plenty of potential for distraction, one startup sees an opportunity to use these new tools of student communication to create a more interactive and engaging educational experience. Launching in 2010, the Toronto and San Francisco-based Top Hat Monocle has evolved from a simple polling system based on those hand-held clickers professors use to poll students during discussions into a web and mobile-based interactive learning platform. Since launch, Top Hat's platform has worked its way into more than 200 educational institutions globally, and today, the startup is ready to begin accelerating its expansion into higher education, fueled by a new infusion of capital. On Wednesday morning, the startup announced that it has closed $8 million in series A financing led by Emergence Capital Partners and iNovia Capital, with SoftTech VC, Version One Ventures and Golden Venture Partners participating.
