When this optional feature is enabled for a course, the course team defines smaller communities of students within the larger, course-wide community. This feature allows course teams to divide students into cohort groups using either distinctive group characteristics or automated, random assignments. When the - cohorts feature is enabled for a course, most discussion topics are divided so - that students can only read and contribute to posts made by other members of - the same cohort. However, course teams can open some discussions so that all - students can read and contribute to the discussion. Additionally, if the - cohorts feature is enabled for the course, the CSV file that contains student - profile data now includes a **Cohort** column. - - We recommend that you implement cohorts in courses that are not yet released. - Issues may arise if you enable the cohorts feature in a running course. - - For more information, see `Cohorts`_. - -* In the Instructor Dashboard, downloading student profile data is now a - background task.
