The app can only be used to answer active questions. In order to answer homework questions or view the gradebook, you must use an Internet browser.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mobile device SMS<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you have connected your mobile device, you can submit in-class answers by sending an SMS message to your course&#8217;s texting number. The number is displayed on the right side of your screen, below your instructor&#8217;s in-class questions. Each question will be assigned a unique 4 digit ID number. For example: if your answer is &#8220;A&#8221; to the question with an ID number &#8220;4500&#8221; then you should text &#8220;4500 A&#8221; to your course&#8217;s number.<\/p>\n<h3>Top Hat Customer Support<\/h3>\n<p>If you experience issues with your Top Hat account, or with the functionality of Top Hat, you should contact Top Hat Customer Support directly:<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Top Hat Support Website\" href=\"https:\/\/support.tophat.com\/\">Top Hat Support Website<\/a><\/p><\/div><div class='clear_column'><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":73,"featured_media":0,"parent":4312,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4314","page","type-page","status-publish"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.citl.mun.ca\/resourcesforstudents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4314","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.citl.mun.ca\/resourcesforstudents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.citl.mun.ca\/resourcesforstudents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.citl.mun.ca\/resourcesforstudents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/73"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.citl.mun.ca\/resourcesforstudents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4314"}],"version-history":[{"count":19,"href":"https:\/\/blog.citl.mun.ca\/resourcesforstudents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4314\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7673,"href":"https:\/\/blog.citl.mun.ca\/resourcesforstudents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4314\/revisions\/7673"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.citl.mun.ca\/resourcesforstudents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4312"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.citl.mun.ca\/resourcesforstudents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4314"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.citl.mun.ca\/resourcesforstudents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4314"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.citl.mun.ca\/resourcesforstudents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4314"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
