About the Program
The Teaching Online Prep Program (TOPP) is a two-time national award-winning professional development program that prepares faculty to develop and facilitate a high-quality online class. During the intensive 6-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.

Schedule: Two summer cohorts of TOPP will be offered online this summer (you can indicate your cohort preference in the application):

• Summer 1: May 26 – July 3
• Summer 2: July 6 – August 14

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 – it is not advisable to enroll in TOPP while teaching a summer class.

APPLY HERE: by Monday, March 30 at 11:55pm.
