Run cohorts as groups, track every member in one place
A group is a space that runs alongside your courses, with its own feed, its own members and its own events. One might hold a live webinar, a mentoring programme, or a paid membership community, and you can enrol everyone in it into a course without building the list again.
Publish a group as public, private, or paid membership
Bulk import members from a CSV, or add them one at a time
Enrol an entire group into a course from the course enrolments panel
Members, Collaborators and Owner roles, with a join date on every row
Advanced reporting with filters and CSV export

Social learning LMS questions
Groups are part of the branded LMS layer, so they need a Pro plus LMS, Business or Enterprise plan. Your account also needs Admin status with your user set to Approved Admin, or the Create a group button will not appear. The Questions and Answers forum sits on those same plans.
Open the course, click the Enrolments icon in the top toolbar, switch to the Groups tab and click Add group. Search the group by name and confirm, and every member of that group is enrolled at once. The group’s own Courses tab then lists everything its members can open.
Yes. Members can open another person’s profile, message them, and follow each other. If you would rather keep conversation in the open, run it through group posts and the Questions forum instead, where an answer stays searchable under its topic hashtag rather than sitting in one person’s inbox.
Yes. Connect Stripe first, then set a membership fee and currency on the group and add any GST or VAT percentage. Publish it as a Paid Membership group and the monthly price appears as a badge under the group title. With no payment product linked, the group shows Request Access instead.
Yes. Tick Anyone can post to let members contribute, or leave it off so only admins publish. You can set how often email broadcasts go out, choose whether all users or only admins receive updates by default, and require members to accept your terms before they join.
