I'm using custom post types in WordPress 3.0 to manage 'courses' (or seminars, lectures, whatever term you'd prefer to have in mind).

Now for viewing a single 'course', the url structure is;

/course/course-name/

But for multiple courses?

/courses/category/category-name/

Or...

/course-category/category-name/

Or something entirely different?
