Cohort model
A cohort model features a delivery structure that is driven by the expectations, experiences, and beliefs of the cohort's participants. It is usually implemented based on an applicable theory such as the structuration framework. Cohort groups can be organized in such a way that groups of students take a number of similar programs each semester and this organization can change when the term ends so that students can interact with more students. Cohort can be distinguished from groups of students through the following aspects: * cohorts allow school administrators to enroll students en masse while groups only concern teacher management within the class; * cohorts are bigger than groups; and, * a cohort involves a set of students within a system-wide course. Cohort-based learning (CBC) is a learning model that integrates content with the community. Since most of the interaction occurs in real-time, CBC falls under the category of synchronous learning. The model works similarly to conventional classroom learning, where a group of like-minded students learns the same content together to achieve similar outcomes.References
