Honestly, I would suggest creating a new content type. You have news, facts, etc for dynamic content and several media libraries already available to you. What I usually do in this situation is create a new dynamic type with a custom rule for displaying the type. The contributors are then able to create multiple courses, faculties, etc to be inserted into the pages later. I have several farcry blog entries at http://jake.cfwebtools.com/index.cfm/Farcry. You can specifically look at http://jake.cfwebtools.com/index.cfm/2007/1/12/Farcry-Custom-Type-HOWTO for custom types and http://jake.cfwebtools.com/index.cfm/2007/1/12/Farcry-Custom-Rule-HOWTO for custom rules. Then all you need to do is create a new display template that has a container in it. Get some courses/faculties put into the custom types then go into design mode and place the new rule into the container for that page.
If you don't want to do that, you can extend the dmHTML object and create specific versions of it. You would have a dmCourse object and a dmFaculties object which both extend dmHTML. This is harder in my opinion than a custom type because you have to integrate your custom stuff into the PLP widgets which requires more work.
