About Content Groups#

Tags: educator concept

Content groups are virtual groupings of learners who will see a particular set of course content. You can use content groups to designate specific course content as available to particular cohorts of learners.

You create content groups in Studio, and in your course outline you use the Access Settings to designate whether a component is selectively available only to one or more content groups. Any course components that do not have an explicit restricted access setting are available to all learners, regardless of their cohort.

Content groups do not have an actual impact on the availability of a course component until you associate them with one or more cohorts. If you have designated certain course content as restricted to a content group, and in addition have associated that content group with one or more cohorts, then only learners in those cohorts will see the designated content.

For an example of using content groups to create cohort-specific course content, see Example: Cohort-Specific Course Content.
