What is the difference between Cohort and Platform Learning?

Dear Readers,

Here are some key differences between cohort learning and platform learning in Telebort:

Class Hours :

• Cohort class is 2 hours while platform learning is a 1 hour class.

Class Size :

• Cohort class can accommodate up to 15-20 students while platform learning can accommodate around 1-5 students. The number of students for Platform learning are uncertain as it depends on the demand of that particular slot.

Suitability :

• Cohort class is suitable for students who would like more peer-to-peer learning while platform learning is suitable for students who are fast and independent learners. However, for platform learning, the class will still require students to communicate with one another and help each other out as well.

Learning materials :

• Platform learning allows for self-paced learning, meaning students can proceed with their studies independently without waiting for the teacher to update the learning materials weekly on the dashboard. Once students are onboarded, they gain access to all the learning materials at once. The weekly schedule that the student needs to attend is for them to ask questions and receive guidance from the teacher in class. Live teaching will be provided if needed by the students in that class. However, for cohort, students will need to wait for the lessons to be uploaded weekly on the dashboard a few days before the class.
