A Cohort is a site wide or category wide group. The main purpose of a cohort is to enable all members of the group to be easily enrolled in a course. This can be done using Cohort Sync - synchronizes cohort membership with course enrollment or through manual enrollment of a cohort into a course.
Creating a cohort
To create a cohort you need appropriate permission, an administrator can add a cohort:
Administration > Site administration > Users > Accounts > Cohorts
- Click "Add button". You can choose either to avail your cohort site-wide or in a specific category.
- Make sure the "Visible" link is checked to enable teachers use cohorts in their courses.
- After completing the required details click save button.
- Click assign link next to the cohort name.
- Select potential users from the list then click the Add button.
Add bulk users into a cohort
- From the:
Administration > Site administration > Users > Accounts > Bulk user actions
- Set a filter to find appropriate users.
- Add users from the available list to the selected list.
- Choose 'Add to cohort' with selected users.
Enrolling cohort in a course
You can enroll a cohort in a course using two methods;
- Cohort sync
- Manual enrollment of the cohort
Cohort Sync Using cohort sync, whenever a user is added to a cohort that is already enrolled into a course, he/she is automatically enrolled into the course. If a user is removed from a cohort enrolled to a course he/she is removed from the cohort as well.
Enabling Cohort sync This option is enable by the administrator using:
Site administration > Plugins > Enrollments > Manage enroll plugins.
Enrolling a cohort in a course Use the following procedure to enroll a cohort into a course;
- Start by creating a cohort either at the site level or category level:
Course administration > Enrolment methods > "Cohort sync" - in the dropdown menu.
- Choose the required cohort and then click the "Add method" button.
Manual enrollment of a cohort To manually enroll users of a cohort into a course.
- Go to Course:
Administration > Enrolled users
- Click the "Enroll users" button and then 'Browse cohorts'
- Select a cohort then click the 'Finish enrolling users' button.
