Cohorts, in Moodle, are a group of users that are of the same demographic or have a relation ship to each other in the Course. For example, there can be multiple campuses for some college courses. The cohort feature allows the site administrator to group the users according to a specific demographic. This is valuable for adding multiple users to a course all at the same time. The following tutorial will outline how to create and add users to a cohort in Moodle 2.3.
