Cohorts

A cohort is a group of students who go through a class together, on the same schedule, instead of each student joining on their own start date. The classic classroom model, moved online.

The default in self-paced e-learning is isolation. Every student starts alone, works alone, and finishes (or quietly quits) alone. When a group starts the same week, shares the same deadlines, and hits the same milestones together, the course starts to feel like something you're part of rather than something you're grinding through. Students in a cohort can ask each other questions, compare notes, and feel the mild social pressure of a shared pace. Workshops and live trainings get the same benefit: everyone in the room arrived at the same time and is working on the same thing.

In Torii, a cohort is a native feature with its own custom content controls. Attach values to the group itself, like a start date, an instructor, or a section number, and every member of each cohort can see their group's unique information. Membership in the cohort is managed by tags, so enrollment in a cohort can be automated the same way as everything else.

Cohorts work with every LMS Torii supports: Sushi LMS (built in), plus LearnDash, LearnPress, LifterLMS, and Sensei. Start a cohort, enroll its members in the course, and the group moves through it together regardless of which LMS hosts the content.
