Cohorts

Cohorts, or site-wide groups, enable all members of a cohort to be enrolled in a course in one action, either manually or synchronised automatically.

Creating a cohort

To create a cohort manually:

• Access Settings > Site administration > Users > Accounts > Cohorts

• Click the Add button
• NOTE In the dropdown you can choose between making your cohort available throughout the site "system" or in a named category.
• Complete the details and save the changes.
• Follow the assign link opposite the cohort name in the list of available cohorts.

• Select potential users from the list then click the Add button.

To synchronise cohort members with course participants, the Cohort sync enrolment plugin should be enabled in Settings > Site administration > Plugins > Enrolments > Manage enrol plugins.

Uploading cohorts via CSV

• This feature is planned to be included in 2.2. See the tracker here: [[1]]
