PantherNet (Workday) Coding for e-Learning Courses

Special designators are used to identify the delivery method of e-Learning courses as well as the automatic loading of sections and students for those courses using the PBSC Blackboard server. Once the course is loaded in PantherNet (Workday) by the campus, these additional special designator codes/ special fees must be added.

Designators that start with a “W” or “GB” are for classes that use Blackboard as the course management system. All other Web supported classes that use e-packs or instructor hosted websites should use the remaining designators.

The campus Associate Dean is responsible for adding the appropriate special designators and special fees. The special fee for Hybrid and Web Component classes WILL NOT be automatically loaded from the course dictionary and requires that the user manually add the appropriate fee. If registration has started, and the fee was not added to the class, please call Academic Services so that adding of the fee can be coordinated with the Finance department. Adding the fees once registration has started with no notification will result in student schedules being canceled.

Use of the Web Content Designators

Except for the GB designator, these Web class special designators may only be placed on a class if the instructor has obtained the appropriate course certification. The campus Associate Dean must consult with the e-Learning Director for confirmation.

Instructor Resource Management and PantherNet (Workday) Instructor Blackboard Course Certification

Before an instructor can be assigned to a class, the instructor must first be credentialed by Palm Beach State College (Campus Academic Dean, Associate Dean). The process of credentialing is the institution’s guarantee that the instructor has met all the necessary credentialing to teach a class. This process differs depending on whether the instructor is teaching a non‐credit class, a preparatory class, or a credit class.

Once the e-Learning department certifies a faculty/instructor's class for meeting the applicable guidelines for component, hybrid or online -- an applicable code is placed in PantherNet (Workday) on the Instructor Resource Management screen.

The additional designation for all Web courses is next to the course to identify the certification level. The highest level is listed for Web course certification.

  • Component = 1
  • Hybrid = 2
  • Online = 3

This Web course designation is in addition to the certification by PBSC (Campus Academic Dean, Associate Dean) and will:

  • allow a faculty/instructor to be assigned a component, hybrid, or online course in PantherNet (Workday).
  • not disrupt the scheduling for any on-campus (non-Web) class.
