Abstract: In one general aspect, a computer-implemented method for providing facilitated learning for an online course can include enrolling, by a course application executing on a computing system, a learner in the online course, scheduling, by a facilitated learning module associated with the course application and at a first time, at least one live video conference for the online course, scheduling, by the facilitated learning module and at a second time, at least one live forum discussion for the online course, initiating, by the facilitated learning module, the at least one live video conference based on determining that a current time is the first time, and initiating, by the facilitated learning module, the at least one live forum discussion based on determining that a current time is the second time, the at least one live video conference and the at least one live forum discussion allowing participation of the learner.

Abstract: In one general aspect, a computer-implemented method can include scheduling a respective available open enrollment period for each of a plurality of cohort sessions for an online course, determining that a first cohort session included in the plurality of cohort sessions for the online course is open for enrollment, enrolling, based on determining the first cohort session is open for enrollment, a learner in the first cohort session, automatically tracking a progress for the enrolled learner, determining, based on automatically tracking the progress for the learner, that the learner is falling behind a predetermined schedule of course completion for the online course, and, based on determining that the learner is falling behind the predetermined schedule, automatically determining that a second cohort session included in the plurality of cohort sessions for the online course is open for enrollment, and enrolling the learner in the second cohort session.
