What is Cohort course?

A course that runs in time-bound batches with a start date, group of students, and live elements — opposite of self-paced evergreen courses.

The longer answer.

A cohort course is a course that runs in defined start-and-end time blocks with a group of students enrolling together. Cohort courses typically include weekly live calls, a paid community for that cohort, and time-released lessons. They command 3-10× the price of equivalent self-paced courses because completion rates are higher and the social-pressure of a cohort drives outcomes. Kavieo's course builder supports both modes — set a cohort start date, drip the lessons, gate the community to enrolled cohort members, then roll the next cohort automatically.
