What is a Cohort Based Course?

On Fermion, you can choose to create Recorded Courses, Cohort-based Courses, even a Hybrid Course, Workshops and so much more, depending on which audience you wish to cater.

Think of cohorts as courses which have a start date and an end date. One key difference between a CBC and a Recorded Course is the addition of one key element "live class". CBCs by default are known to have live classes inside the course curriculum while recorded courses do not. CBCs thus, have a strict end date and a start date. pointing arrow to new cbc button

What is a Recorded Course?

With CBCs, you can also create a recorded course on Fermion. A recorded course is simply a collection of pre-recorded video course items along with other items such as coding labs, quizzes, articles, etc. Note that recorded courses do not have live sessions inside the curriculum. pointing arrow to new recorded course button
