Collections is a closed beta feature that is available for Enterprise Plan accounts upon review of their specific use case.

If a Course is essentially a single Path, a Collection is a "path of paths," or a way to bundle and order a series of Courses for learners to take together within the same, continuous Cohort. Each Collection can have multiple, customizable Cohorts moving through the same series of Courses.

Use a Collection to take your multi-course program from choose-your-own adventure.... 

to one-step clarity. 

List multiple courses on one learning path and give instant access to all courses with a single enrollment. Keep everyone in a particular Cohort together as they work through the program.

Creating a Collection is very similar to creating a course. 

Create a new Collection from your Teach tab on your Home page. 

These apply to the current beta; more functionality is coming soon. 

Pricing works the same way as for a regular course; all courses included in the Collection are included in the single purchase or subscription price automatically; learners will not (cannot) be prompted to pay for each course in a Collection separately.

Each Cohort within the Collection, whether created by staff or a member via member-created Cohorts, will be persistent through all the courses inside. Learners enrolled in one Cohort will not be mixed in with learners in other Cohorts. 

For example, if you create a public Cohort in the Collection, everyone who enrolls in it will be in the public Cohort in each of the Courses included in the Collection. 

If someone creates a private Cohort in the same Collection, everyone who enrolls in that private cohort will be automatically enrolled in the same private Cohort in each of the Courses included in the Collection. 

Progress is tracked through each individual course as learners mark steps "Completed" or "Skipped" (if optional). Collection progress is the total of all progress made in the courses that make up the Collection. To complete the Collection, all steps will need to be completed or skipped in all of the courses.

Yes, they do. Make edits once in the course Source Path and they will update to all cohorts, including those used inside Collections. 

Yes, you can start new discussions in the Collection Community. However, it does not yet aggregate all discussion happening in each of the courses within the Collection. We'll likely add this as an enhancement down the road. You can continue to have discussions within the courses in the Collection.

No, not yet. We'll likely add this as an enhancement down the road as well. 

Not yet, but we are considering this for a future update.

Yes, a certificate can be downloaded upon completion of an entire Collection, if enabled. 

When you give someone Course Editor access to a Collection, they can add public or members-only courses to the Collection and remove or rearrange courses included on the Path.

They can add new cohorts and edit all course and cohort settings. 

They cannot add private courses to which they have no access and they cannot access the content of any courses in the Collection (unless they are given access to those courses individually). 

When you invite someone to enroll in a Collection Cohort as a teacher, they can add public or members-only courses to their Cohort and remove or rearrange Courses included on their Cohort Path.

They cannot create new Courses, add private Courses to which they have no access, or edit the original content of any courses in the Collection (unless they are given editing access to those Courses individually). 

Clicking into Courses on the Path will enroll them as teachers inside those Courses. 

Similar to editing a course, if you edit or delete content while your Collection is in-progress, it can affect the progress and grades of your learners.

If you remove a course from an in-progress Collection and then add it back again, this is known to cause errors for learners and staff trying to access that course. Once a Collection is in-progress, we recommend leaving the courses in place, at least until your active cohorts are concluded.

Now when you add or invite someone to a Collection as an observer, learner, moderator, or teacher, they will be auto-enrolled in all the Paths that make up the Collection at the same time. Here are some notes on how this works:

In addition, when you remove someone from a Collection, they will be removed from all the Paths that make up the Collection, and any associated progress will be deleted.
