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.
New TOPR submissions will undergo a peer-reviewed process and publishing in STARS. While entries can be submitted year-round, they will be formally reviewed and published during the next Call for Submissions timeframe which is open in Spring 2026 . Please download and use the Strategy Entry Template when making a submission to TOPR.
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.
