COCI 4.2 Release Notes

Common Course Numbering

A Common Course Numbering page has been added to COCI for the creation and management of common courses. CCCCO Admins, COCI Read Only Users, or CCCCO Reviewers can access the page by clicking on the CNN button under Manage Course Curriculum in the left navigation panel. Existing common courses are presented in a table on the Common Course Numbering page. The Common Course Number, Title, Status, and Last Updated date and time are given for each listed common course.

From the Action column of the table in the main page the users may click View to see the Attributes, Summary, and Details for the common course on a separate Common Course Numbering Detail page. Users may also click on History to view the CCN History Page for a common course. CCCCO Admins have the option to Edit, Delete, or Restore a common course. In the Edit mode, CCCCO Admins only can also Activate a common course.

To create a common course (with a unique assigned number), a CCCCO Admin can click + Create Common Course Number button on the main Common Course Numbering page and fill in the Attributes, Summary, and Details for the new common course. This information is manually transferred by the CCCCO Admin from the applicable common course numbering template on the Chancellor’s Office site’s Course Outline of Records Submission page. When the required fields have been completed, the CCCCO Admin has the option to Save or Submit the common course.

Course Summary

A Major Preparation field has been added to the Summary tab of the course form to allow College Submitters to see the course content that they are adopting when they select any given CCN template.

Course Attributes

A Course Type field has been added to the course form to allow users to differentiate between common and traditional courses when viewing the course form.

The user is required to enter a Common Course Number when Common Course is selected for Course Type. This field is located beneath the Course Type field.

When a CCCCO Admin or College Submitter edits a course form and changes the Course Type from Traditional Course to Common Course a Preview Changes pop-up window will appear which shows the course attributes for the Current Version and what those attributes will be changed to when the user proceeds to convert the course to the Common Course Number Version.

The user has the option to accept the changes from a Traditional Course to a Common Course by clicking the Confirm button, or to cancel the common course number and the changes that will occur by clicking the Cancel button.

All Courses

A Common Course Number field has been added to the search criteria for the Courses page. This field contains a dropdown menu that lists all active common courses.
