Co-teaching and rotating instructors

Two common situations in higher education:

• co-teaching — two teachers (or more) lead the same lesson together. Typical case: a theorist + a practitioner on a strategy course, a permanent teacher + an expert adjunct on a case study.
• rotating instructors — a course over a period (a module, a semester) is taught in turn by several teachers who take over from one another. Typical case: a sector-specific module broken down into thematic lessons, each entrusted to a different expert.

Both mechanisms are natively supported by Omniscol.

Co-teaching (joint delivery)

A lesson can carry several teachers simultaneously. In the Timetable management module, the teacher selector Assign teachers accepts several entries on a single lesson. The individual timetables of the teachers involved show the lesson as co-taught.

Consequences:

• The availability of all co-teaching teachers must be compatible on the time slot.
• For service hours, the lesson appears in full in each co-teacher's timetable. If your policy splits the hour pro rata between co-teachers, that calculation happens at export time (payroll, invoicing).

See Complex lessons for the technical details of co-taught courses.

Rotating instructors on a module

More complex: 12 lessons in a module, each taught by a different teacher. Two approaches:

Approach A — One subject, several courses

Create one course per instructor in the module, each with its own assigned teacher. Data entry takes longer, but the result stays clear for the instructors: each sees their lessons in their timetable and the module appears as a subject with several courses.

Approach B — Calendar mode with specific dates

If the lessons have known specific dates, use calendar mode, included in the Premium plan:

• one subject Module Stratégie d'entreprise,
• N dated lessons with one instructor per lesson,
• the algorithm respects each instructor's availability.

This approach is more compact and natural for intensive modules.

Memo to describe the sequence

You can add a memo Comment on each lesson explaining the lesson's place within the module (Séance 3 / 12 — Stratégie financière). The memo appears in the timetables and helps students find their way.
