Cohorts FAQ

Just wondering if there is a need for a cohorts FAQ page, realising that we already have a Groups FAQ and a Groupings FAQ so it might be too much. But cohorts are different from groups and groupings and often there are misunderstandings. I was about to add an FAQ to the cohorts FAQ and realised there isn't one! If others think it is not necessary, that's fine, although I am sure there would be questions to add to it.--Mary Cooch 23:46, 25 January 2013 (WST)

Sure, let's have a Cohorts FAQ page. :-) --Helen Foster 23:58, 25 January 2013 (WST)

site wide groups

Hi, I think the definition should be expanded to include that cohorts can be category or site wide

Currently "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." But later on it reads "Cohorts which have been created for a category rather than the system can be located by selecting the appropriate category and then clicking the Cohorts link in Administration>Category (name)>Cohorts"

My suggestion is "Cohorts are site-wide or category-wide groups. Cohorts enable all members of a cohort to be enrolled in a course in one action, either manually or synchronised automatically." rgds Paul

Thanks for your suggestion which I have added to the page :) You are also free to add improvements yourself if you wish by the way.--Mary Cooch (talk) 15:58, 29 April 2014 (WST)
