Considering our campus needs and resources in response to remote instructions, the instructional design support (IDS) team has developed and offered Teaching Online Prep Program (TOPP) To-Go! in Spring 2020. Given the increased need for instructional support, the IDS team decided to reoffer TOPP To-Go! from June 01 through June 29, 2020.

TOPP To Go! is a 4-week community-based program where participants will be guided through 4 learning modules. This professional development program will be open to anyone in the UH system who wishes to participate. No commitment necessary – we just hope to serve up some bite-sized instructional support to the masses and provide a space for everyone to come together to communicate and collaborate. A certificate will be awarded to those participants completing all required activities but acquiring a certificate is not mandated.

(Note: Once you complete the registration, you will receive a link in the confirmation message at the end of the form. Copy the link, paste it into a new web browser, and follow the on-screen prompts in order to add yourself to the Summer TOPP To Go! site.)

Participants who join the site will receive announcements as new modules are released (the first module drops June 1 (TODAY), but hop in now to peek around and say “hello!”). Everyone is welcome and encouraged to participate, including experienced DE faculty – please come and share your experience, insights, feedback, questions, and ideas in the forums.
