Project thread: The third Learn WordPress Course Cohort

Project Objective

Conduct a course cohort based on content from a Learn WordPress Learning Pathway. Using what was learned from the last two cohorts and the updated documentation, determine whether the course cohort framework is easily replicable and sustainable.

Project Overview

One of the Training Team’s goals this year is to run 1-2 outcome/project-based course cohorts. The goal during the first cohort 2024 was to apply what was learned from previous cohorts and further refine the Training Team’s framework for course cohorts based on Learn WordPress content.

Now that we have launched Learning Pathways, the aim of this cohort is to experiment with applying this framework to a predefined syllabus of content selected from a single learning pathway.
