    The University of Central Florida's (UCF) Center for Distributed Learning (CDL) offers the Teaching Online Pedagogical Repository (TOPR) as a public resource for faculty and instructional designers interested in online and blended teaching strategies.

From Wendy - we may want to encourage our faculty to use this, but this also provides an opportunity for them to contribute their own practices.
