The Teaching Online Preparation Toolkit (TOPkit) website is a comprehensive resource that
provides the postsecondary community with the essential elements required to ensure a very
high quality online faculty development program, including a sample course that may be imported
into any learning management system and then customized. The links below walk you through a
three-step process for planning,
developing, and evaluating
your program along with supporting resources.
While this initiative is Florida funded and Florida focused, it is not Florida exclusive and we invite you, our colleagues around the world, to explore the TOPkit website and actively participate in its accompanying community of practice.
To learn more about this site and its contributors, please read About Us.
