What will happen to the current instructional format?
A For now, nothing will happen to the current instructional format. Both the current instructional format and the new TIE format will be required on COCI’s course approval form and appear in the COURSE system. The instructional format is deeply embedded in a wide variety of operational as well as reporting system algorithms on the UC Berkeley campus. To remove the current instructional format codes and replace them with the new TIE codes is complicated and will take time. The campus has not indicated that it plans to do this. So for now and the foreseeable future, the current instructional format codes will continue to be used for identifying instructional formats for courses, campus-wide faculty workload reporting, classroom assignments, and space reports to OP, while the new TIE instructional formats will be used specifically for the more comprehensive faculty workload reports the Office of the President generates and sends to the California State Legislature.
