3. Cohorts

Cohorts are optional site-wide or category-wide groups primarily used to manage enrollment. For example: If grade level cohorts are created at the system level, those can be used to enroll an entire grade level into a course or series of courses in a single action. Other examples of cohorts that may be helpful are: Staff cohorts based around subject and/or grade level, or cohorts for extra curricular activities.

Setting up a cohort is a two-step process, similar to creating a course and adding enrollments. In this case it requires setting up the cohort, then adding users. 

Cohorts can be created:

  • manually 
  • in bulk with a csv file

Users can be added to a cohort: 

  • manually
  • in bulk with a csv file 
  • with a bulk user action

More information about setting up cohorts, enrolling users in cohorts, or using cohorts for enrollment or bulk user actions is available in the Cohorts documentation.
