Posts are created from within a cohort. You can draft a post, add content and attachments, and publish it when ready — optionally notifying all enrolled students by email.

​
Where to find it

Go to Program Dashboard → Cohorts, open a cohort, click the Posts tab, and then click Create Post.

​
Creating a post

  1. Open the cohort and go to the Posts tab.
  2. Click Create Post.
  3. Enter a title for the post.
  4. Write the post body using the rich text editor.
  5. Optionally add file attachments and lesson links (see below).
  6. Click Save Draft to save without publishing, or Publish to make it visible to students.

​
The rich text editor

The editor supports:
  • Bold, Italic, and Underline text formatting
  • Headings (H1, H2, H3)
  • Bullet lists and numbered lists
  • Links — add or edit URLs inline
  • Inline images — upload images directly into the post body
Use the toolbar at the top of the editor to apply formatting. Undo and redo are available if you need to reverse changes.

​
Adding file attachments

You can attach files for students to download from the post.
  • Click Add Attachment below the editor to upload a file.
  • Up to 10 files per post, each up to 25 MB.
  • Each attachment shows its file name and size.
  • To remove an attachment, click the remove button next to it.
Attachments are available to students when they view the published post.

​
Linking lessons

You can link a post to specific lessons from the courses assigned to the cohort’s program offering. This lets students navigate directly from the post to a lesson.
  • Click Add Lesson Link to search for and select a lesson.
  • Only lessons from courses assigned to the cohort’s program offering are available.
  • You can link multiple lessons to a single post.
  • To remove a lesson link, click the remove button next to it.
When students view the post, each linked lesson appears with its course and module context, and they can click through to open the lesson.

​
Saving as draft

If you are not ready to publish, click Save Draft. Drafts are only visible to program owners and instructors — students cannot see them. You can return to a draft at any time from the cohort’s Posts tab and continue editing.

​
Publishing a post

When you are ready for students to see the post:
  1. Click Publish.
  2. You will be asked whether to send an email notification to enrolled students.
  3. If you check the notification option, an email is sent to all currently enrolled students in the cohort with a link to the post.
  4. Once published, the post appears in the student post feed immediately.
After publishing, the post is visible to all students enrolled in the cohort. You can still edit the post — see Managing posts for details. For more about how email notifications work, see Post email notifications.
