Welcome

The Office of Teaching Resources in Psychology (OTRP) develops and distributes teaching and advising materials and provides services to teachers of psychology at all levels on behalf of The Society for the Teaching of Psychology.

Call for ToPIX Editor

OTRP is looking for a new editor for the Teaching of Psychology Idea Exchange (ToPIX). ToPIX is a teaching resources repository at http://topix.teachpsych.org   Psychology instructors may use it to share videos, websites, assignments, and other teaching-related materials. The editor's responsibilities include soliciting new material for posting, publicizing the site, working with a small editorial board, answering inquiries, and helping instructors post their materials.  Familiarity with wikis is desirable.

Because the current editor, Sue Frantz, is now VP for Resources, the new editor would assume responsibility as soon as mutually convenient.  The editor reports to the Director of OTRP. To apply for the position, please send the following material to OTRP Director, Ruth Ault at ruault@davidson.edu : a letter expressing interest, highlighting experience with editing websites and a CV.  Please submit your materials by May 1st.

OTRP Materials are Peer-Reviewed

Did you know that OTRP materials are peer-reviewed before they are accepted for distribution? In this way, OTRP attempts to encourage teaching as scholarship and to provide an endorsement of such work to heighten its value at the local level. Do you have an idea for a teaching or advising resource that OTRP could distribute? If you are interested in discussing an idea for a possible project, please contact the Director

Note

If you discover some type of formatting anomaly after downloading one of these resources, please be patient with us and, especially, their authors. The instructors who prepared these resources submitted to us electronic copies which displayed correctly on their own computers using their own word processing software. We have come to learn that what appears perfect on one computer may show some minor or moderate formatting anomalies on another computer. If such an anomaly appears to be particularly egregious or raises questions of interpretation of the author's pedagogical intent, please contact either the Associate Editor of Project Syllabus or the Internet Editor to point out the difficulty.
