Running a Primary Course

Teaching within a shared course model does not mean giving up your teaching style or instructor presence. This session explores practical ways faculty can personalize delivery, support engagement, and bring their strengths into a course designed by another faculty member while maintaining alignment with course outcomes and structure.

Why watch?

Faculty often need to balance instructional flexibility with consistency across shared courses. This session provides practical guidance for teaching confidently within established course boundaries—without feeling constrained by the design.

What you’ll gain

  • Clear distinctions between instructional adaptation and course redesign
  • Strategies for increasing instructor presence in a course designed by another faculty member
  • Approaches for contextualizing content while maintaining course alignment
  • Practical methods for incorporating personal teaching strengths into facilitation
