Understand the roster
A short survey captures how students work, communicate, and contribute.
Form better teams, earlier
Cohort helps instructors form stronger student teams, see emerging coordination gaps, and support groups before small gaps become project problems.
The Cohort Approach
A short survey captures how students work, communicate, and contribute.
Cohort evaluates possible team mixes and recommends stronger configurations.
Team-level signals show where support may be needed while there’s still time.
How it works
The same roster can produce very different teams depending on how students are grouped. Cohort compares configurations before teams are finalized.
Available roster
One roster. Many possible team configurations.
Team A
Less balanced configuration
Team A is composed of members A, B, C, and D from the available roster of six.Team B
Stronger configuration
Team B is composed of members A, C, E, and F from the available roster of six.Illustrative example. Scores show how different team compositions from the same group can change the team-level readout.
From configuration to action Coming Fall 2026
A stronger configuration is only the beginning. Cohort gives every team member a clear leadership responsibility matched to how they contribute to teamwork:
For teams of four or three, responsibilities combine so every part of the work still has an owner.
Illustrative sample data — an abstracted preview, not a real class.
See what matters, sooner
Cohort gives instructors a clear view of team-level coordination and emerging gaps — so you can support students while the work is still taking shape.
Spot coordination gaps early
See misalignment in how teams work together.
Intervene with confidence
Use clear signals to guide timely, targeted support.
Support every team more consistently
Better formation and earlier signals help fewer teams slip through unnoticed.
The first meeting
Every team begins with a pre-drafted charter. In a structured first meeting, members review it, change what doesn’t fit, and sign the version they agree to work by. Not a contract filed away — a shared starting point for ownership, decisions, and follow-through.
The one thing Cohort never does: assign the project work itself. Who does what on the deliverable is always the team’s call.
The difference
Most tools look at individual traits, roles, or working styles. Cohort looks at the configuration between people — the fit, friction, and balance that determine whether a team can actually perform.
What you can do today
Two ways instructors use Cohort today: forming student teams from a class roster, and measuring how an existing team is coordinating.
