The web COE has been around for a few years now and it has been refined and adapted during that time. It's one of those things that everyone thinks is a great idea and wants it initially, but it doesn't always turn out to be a great fit for every state. It really depends on where COEs are collected in your state and whether those locations have decent internet access. The tablet COE is designed for those states that don't have good enough internet access for web COEs to be practical. But I thought it might be good to take a look at what some states have done with the web COE.

Alaska was the original web COE, but they didn't want it to replace paper. They were more interested in not having to maintain MIS2000 installations at remote sites. They've actually started to tinker with paperless COEs for some sites as well. They've received the latest styling for the web COE. It can be looked at here:

Arkansas has a web COE, but I'm honestly not sure whether they've settled into using it much yet. It's viewable here:

Arizona used the web COE for their first year with MIS2000, but they've decided to move toward the Tablet COE. Their web COE is here:

Massachusetts has been using the web COE exclusively for quite a while now and it has worked well for them:

And Minnesota has been settling into their web COE over the past few months:
