That means that the first step to getting the most out of Urtak is figuring out how to install it on your site. This process is very simple and you can find instructions here.

Top Hat Monocle

Top Hat Monocle
Fittingly, the story of Top Hat Monocle all began on—wait for it—a university campus. It started as a graduate school project in 2009 when students (and future co-founders) Mike Silagadze and Mohsen Shahini recognized that mobile devices (cell phones, smartphones, tablets, iPods and laptops) were affordable, powerful, and totally under-utilized in the classroom. They saw this as a perfect opportunity to develop a platform for interactive learning using technology students already own.
Top Hat Monocle evolved from a simple polling system into the sophisticated platform it is today.

Student response systems (often called clickers)
http://byod.northcantonschools.org/uses/student-response
Student response systems (often called clickers) are common tools used in classrooms to give quick assessments and polls to students.
However, many normal mobile devices can be used in place of clickers to do the same thing. Below are some options for using student devices as a student response system.
In this training we explain how to use students' mobile devices (phones, tablets, laptops, etc.) in place of traditional "clickers" for a student response system.
