VLE Item Type: Coming Soon?

Debunk2535
Is the item type 'Virtual Learning Environment' planned to be added to Zotero?

Cite Them Right considers VLEs to be different from webpages/websites and requires a different citation order:

Author
Year of publication (in round brackets)
Title of item (in single quotation marks)
Title of support/skills module (in italics): subtitle (if required) (in italics)
Available at: URL of VLE (Accessed: date)

    I don't think so, no -- Cite Them Right tends to proliferate item types in their documentation, but this just looks like a webpage to me? How is the order of elements different (the skills module should be website title in Zotero)

    Using Web Page Item Type, both Web Page Title and Web Site Title are in italics:

    Cite Them Right VLE guidelines (there are several) suggest that the Page title should be in single question marks and the Site title in italics.

    And is that correct for webpage? Looks weird to me, but it's hard to find information on the current version of the style and I won't keep buying new editions of the book (You can use blogpost, FWIW, which has the title in quotation marks though seems conceptually a bit further off.

    "I won't keep buying new editions of the book"
    Understandable

    They only have examples for Web Page or Web Site.

    "You can use blogpost, FWIW, which has the title in quotation marks"
    Perfect, thank you. I just need to remember next time I'm quoting a VLE :D
