Company Overview

ClassTop provides teachers with an innovative desktop program to help organize and manage their classroom through their learning management system (LMS). The easy-to-use ClassTop software synchronizes with higher education LMSs. This integration and synchronization makes it easier for teachers to use the multiplicity of features in their existing LMS and more effectively connect with their students.

After extensive industry and individual research, ClassTop was founded upon the belief that its software can address the prohibitive factor of online distance learning - low adoption rates of LMSs. LMS administrators affirm that only a small percentage (20-30%) of instructors actually uses their LMS to manage their courses, and instructors who do use their LMS, only use a fraction of its functionality.

ClassTop, Inc. is a privately held, Utah-based company focusing on building solutions that boost online learning in the higher education market.
