Course page - Assign an instructor or placeholder to a course
To open a Course page, you must have Curriculum Management permissions, which can be set by your IPT administrator.
In this guide
Assign an instructor or placeholder
On a Course page, the Instructor(s) field is located at the top of the second section.
To assign an instructor, select their name from the first dropdown list. Select their title from the next dropdown list (“Default” is the title placeholder text).
The middle field can be used to enter a custom title, which will override any selection in the title dropdown. A custom title will be used only for this course. It will not change the instructor’s title in the IPT system list.
Select the “tentative” checkbox if you are not certain the instructor you’ve selected will be teaching the course.
Alternatively, you may select a Placeholder from the instructor dropdown list (if your IPT administrators have pre-added Placeholders to the system list).
When to use Add Placeholder link
If you select “Add Placeholder,” this will open the Add an Instructor page in a new tab. Use this link only if you intend to add a Placeholder to the IPT system list of instructors.
For more information, refer to Instructor Management - Add an instructor or placeholder to system list.
After adding an instructor, select “Refresh Lists” at the top of the Course page to update the instructor dropdown list.
Assign multiple instructors
Select the “Add Instructor” button if the course will be taught by more than one instructor. This will populate the form with additional fields so you can enter details about each instructor separately.
