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

Cohorts can be created by site administrators and other users with appropriate permissions.

  • 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.
