Need "Course" or "Class" as item type

sorina_higgins
Greetings. I think "Course" or "Class" should be de rigueur for item types. Nothing else quite fits, and it's troublesome to fiddle with "Presentation" or "Web Site" for such things. If I'm citing a single lecture from a course, "Presentation" is sort of okay; if I'm citing something posted to an online course, "Web Site" can be okay. But if I want to cite a whole course, nothing quite fits. And even "Presentation" is not ideal for a single lecture, as it doesn't include "Course title," "Course ID," or "College/University/Institution." I think this option should be added ASAP. Thanks!

    I'm surprised this hasn't received more support - so let me add mine here.

    There are multiple sources for 'reputable' online courses - including teachable, futurelearn, courser etc. Yet there seems to be no recognition within the 'item type' that this is the case.

    All referencing styles have a way of citing MOOCs - Can we please have a 'course' item type asap

    FYI the “Report” type seems to fit best for this purpose.

    Agree. This has been driving me crazy. In APA, "Podcast" seemed the best fit as far as formatting, but [Broadcast] gates added to the citation when generated, so it doesn't work. (And even so, for podcasts, the correct bracketed phrase is [Audio Podcast].)
