Setting up Discussions in Courses with Cohorts

12.1.4. Setting up Discussions in Courses with Cohorts#

In courses that use cohorts, in addition to discussion topics that are by default shared by all learners, you can create divided discussion topics, within which learners interact only with other members of their cohort.

For information about divided discussions, see About Divided Discussion Topics.

For information about managing and moderating discussions, see Managing Divided Discussion Topics and Moderating Discussions.
