Call for TOPP Spring 2020 Applications: Due Nov. 11

About the Program: The Teaching Online Prep Program (TOPP) prepares faculty to develop and facilitate a high-quality online class. During the intensive 8-week session, you’ll learn about effective online pedagogy and current state, federal and ACCJC requirements for online classes, practice maximizing key Laulima and Web 2.0 tools, and begin developing your online class site in a supportive community of practice. TOPP will be delivered completely online Spring 2020 from January 21 through March 13.

Eligibility: Individuals teaching online for the first time or experienced online teachers interested in teaching a new online class or revising one may apply. There are a limited number of seats in the cohort – selection into TOPP will depend on meeting the eligibility criteria and the priority of your course. Please be aware that this is an intensive online course that requires a significant time commitment.

APPLY HERE: The application deadline for the Spring 2020 cohort is Monday, November 11.

Questions? For more information about TOPP or the application process, please contact Jamie Sickel (jsickel@hawaii.edu) and/or Helen Torigoe (htorigoe@hawaii.edu), your Kapi‘olani CC instructional designers and TOPP developers/facilitators.

A note about TEs: As part of the reduction in non-instructional Teaching Equivalencies (TEs) to address the College’s budget, TEs for participation in TOPP for all faculty have been cut. There are limited Title III funds available to provide 3 TEs to full-time faculty and lecturers to take TOPP for courses that are not already online and that are needed to complete a fully online certificate, concentration or degree. Leigh Dooley (ldooley@hawaii.edu), Interim DE Coordinator, is contacting individuals who teach these courses and are eligible for TEs this spring. Questions regarding TEs for TOPP participation can be directed to her. All faculty who have not yet completed TOPP and wish to (re)design an online class are welcome to apply for this professional development experience, regardless of their eligibility for TEs – please be aware that this is an intensive online professional development course that requires a significant time commitment to complete successfully.
