This might be the APC member who is developing the course or a nominal instructor who serves as emcee for the course, or an Encore Learning member recruited in advance to serve as class aide. The anchor person needs to assure continuity from one week to the next. This may require confirming speakers several days ahead of each speaker’s scheduled presentation. It also may entail briefing speakers on topics covered and questions entertained by prior speakers for a course.
