The Teaching Online Pedagogical Repository (TOPR) is an open resource designed for faculty and instructional designers worldwide. This repository offers valuable insights and strategies for effective online and blended teaching.
Online/blended learning pedagogical practices are organized into three categories: Course Content, Interaction, and Assessment.
Each entry showcases a specific strategy, illustrated with artifacts from real courses, and is backed by relevant research or professional practice literature. We encourage new contributions to TOPR, which undergo a peer-reviewed process to ensure quality and relevance. TOPR submissions undergo a peer-reviewed process through STARS.
About Our Peer-Review System: STARS
STARS is available to host and promote research, creative activity, and institutional outputs. Submissions for TOPR are welcome throughout the year, with formal reviews conducted during our next Call for Submissions in Spring 2025. Authors can expect feedback on their submissions by late April or early May, and final review by the fall semester. Submissions are promoted in newsletters, on social media and the repository.
