Online Courses – Online courses should be assigned the instructional format WBL (web-based lecture) and/or WBD (web-based discussion). If these formats do not exactly describe the format of the course, choose the one that is closest. Historically, online courses have carried a W prefix, but are no longer required to do so effective Fall 2020. Refer to updated guidelines in COCI Handbook 2.5: Web-based and Online Courses for further changes effective Fall 2020.
