Manage and customize a Cohort Course

Cohort Courses let you deliver time-bound learning with scheduled content releases, live sessions, and customizable templates. Manage cohorts, configure content, and tailor the student experience.

​

What’s a cohort?

A cohort is a time-bound group of students enrolled in a Cohort Course. Each cohort has its own start date, content release schedule, and live session calendar. You can create multiple cohorts within a single Course to run the same curriculum for different student groups — for example, a January cohort and a March cohort of the same course.

On the Outline tab, you can:

• Add and schedule Live Sessions

​

What’s a Course template?

The Course template is where you configure the visual design and layout students experience. When students log into the Course, they see materials and branding elements exactly as you’ve set them up in the template.

​

Customize a Cohort Course template

Momentum is the only supported template for Cohort Courses; traditional Evergreen Courses have access to additional templates. Here’s an example of a Course homepage created with the Momentum template:

​

Open Course template for editing

2. Click the Customize tab.
3. Navigate to the template image and click Customize.
4. Your template will open in the Page Builder for editing.

Click on any page element in the Page Builder to open it in the left sidebar editor for editing. Customize template content under the Sections tab of the sidebar editor, and click the Settings tab to customize general page settings like fonts and colors. If you have a Kajabi Community, you can also embed a Community Channel in the Course. Learn more about how to customize a Course with the Momentum template.

​

Live Session page

The Live Session page in the Momentum template is unique to Cohort Courses. This is where your students join your live sessions. They can access the Live Session page by selecting it from the course outline in the left sidebar. From the Live Session page, your students can:

• Click Join session to join a live video session
• Click Download to access added resources

After your live session finishes, you can also upload your session recording to this page to make it accessible to students who wish to watch it later:
